The Whole Backstage Children's Theatre

Re-established in 2008, The Whole Backstage Children's Theatre is one of biggest youth theatre programs in the area.  Courses are designed to stimulate and develop unique intellectual and creative abilities of each student through learning and practicing basic Theatre Arts concepts. Through an applied emphasis in this course, the student will gain greater knowledge of self and others and will begin to develop an appreciation of Theatre as an art form.  Kelleybrooke Brown, director of Children's theatre has over fifteen years experience in dramatic arts and is a AIEA certified instructor.  To inquire about signing your child up for The Whole Backstage Children's Theatre, email: wbschildrenstheatre@gmail.com

The Whole Backstage Children's Theatre has been working to enhance its programs for the youth of our communities. WBS Children's Theatre is very pleased to announce the addition of SPOTLIGHT KIDS. After a successful trial-run in the fall, Director Kelleybrooke Brown, felt it was a necessary addition to the program.

SPOTLIGHT KIDS is a one year commitment. Students must have prior experience in the Whole Backstage Children's Theatre and must audition for the cast. Auditions are held in January of each year. Three adjudicators from outside theatres adjudicate the auditions for fairness. Those who plan to audition must prepare a 90 second combination of music and monologue (SETC STYLE) and participate in an interview with representatives of the Whole Backstage Theatre. SPOTLIGHT KIDS will serve as "ambassadors" for the Whole Backstage Children's Theatre in their communities, perform a small show, and partake in the Alabama Conference of Theatre's Community Theatre Competition event.
