Theatre Arts Education for Everyone

The Palace Theater holds a unique place in Central Texas. What was primarily an attempt to preserve a cherished landmark by building a non-profit community performing arts facility, has matured into a full-fledged Theatrical Community. While much of our talent still comes from Williamson County, we draw actors, dancers, directors, musicians, and technical specialists from Austin and beyond.

As we announce the expansion of The Palace Theatre's Education Program, we want to honor the "home grown" aspect of what made the Palace successful. From first time performers to theater veterans, we have learning opportunities for every age and experience level.

Fall 2013 Schedule of Workshops Coming Soon! 

• For young children and upper elementary we offer afternoon and weekend classes designed to introduce beginning theatre concepts as well as encourage self confidence, cognitive skills and gross motor development.
  
• Our Middle School program allows students to take risks in a safe learning environment. They begin to find their place in a larger Community and using higher order thinking skills, they describe abstract concepts.
• 
  The High School Focused Learning Series encourages teens to delve deep into individual facets of theatre education guided by industry professionals who give them the unique perspective of a working Theater.
• 
  Adults can either improve their existing skill set through our Master's Workshops or attempt something completely new with our Sidewalk to Spotlight series.
