FALL SEMESTER – CLOSED
SEPTEMBER 3 – DECEMBER 20
SPRING SEMESTER – OPENS NOVEMBER 1stJANUARY 6th – MAY 23rd
Redding Performing Arts Center’s RPAC KIDS children’s theater is designed so that students with little or no theater experience all the way to experienced young actors can flourish and grow. We foster a nurturing and supportive classroom environment where students are safe to take risks and step outside their comfort zones. Students build confidence, explore creativity, and learn how to express themselves in appropriate and meaningful ways.
The class is divided into two levels based on the student’s grade to accommodate the changes in the student’s development and abilities during their formative years. RPAC KIDS is an explorative theater playground providing children with their first opportunity to explore acting, singing, and dancing. In both levels we teach the elements of theater technique including: stage presence, rehearsal etiquette, improvisation, audition technique, and beginning scene work are used to introduce students to acting and character development.
Because theater is a collaborative discipline, students will also gain exposure to visual art, music, dance, and technical theater elements. Students learn to build an ensemble that values play, trust, expressiveness, curiosity, and generosity of spirit. Students learn the building blocks of physical acting: posture, poise, movement, and character building. Through rehearsal and performance of age appropriate musicals, students explore the framework of storytelling and develop skills to tell stories that are meaningful, connected, and worth telling.
This experience and exposure to storytelling through theater is designed to foster a life-long appreciation for the arts, and develop life skills that extend beyond the classroom.
We are offering TWO of the same class.
They are the same except for rehearsal and performance days. Please choose the cast that best fits your schedule.

Featuring favorite songs from the film, as well as new hits by the Academy Award-winning Robert and Kristen Lopez (Frozen), this honey-filled delight is as sweet as it is fun.
Welcome to the Hundred Acre Wood, where Winnie the Pooh is once again in search of honey. Along the way, he meets his pals, Tigger, Piglet, Rabbit and Owl, but soon discovers that Christopher Robin has been captured by the mysterious Backson! As they prepare for a rescue operation, the animals learn about teamwork, friendship and, of course… sharing snacks.
Filled with all of their favorite characters, Disney’s Winnie the Pooh KIDS is a favorite for children to perform. There is ample opportunity for adding a large ensemble and filling your stage with as many creatures of the Hundred Acre Wood as possible.
