Montgomery Theater, Too is a unique program that offers young people ages 7-18 the opportunity to audition for and be cast in professional, family-friendly, world-premier children’s theatrical productions.
The experience offers a number of unique learning opportunities. Not only do participants work as a team with adult actors to build a production from the ground up, but they experience the collaboration of directors, writers and actors during an actual play development process.
It also serves the industry by offering a venue for burgeoning playwrights from the Philadelphia area to have their work produced, and contributes to the available family-friendly plays. The magic of this partnership is that all participants, young and old, experienced or not, work together to deliver a polished, professional product.
