Theatre 29’s wildly successful Summer Youth Theatre program announces their 2024 program.

Program Director Lisa Hodgson shared that the program will run from June 24 through July 24, 2024, culminating with four performances of the Broadway musicals “Seussical Kids” and “Seussical Jr.” on July 25, 26, 27, and 28 (a Thursday show has been added this year).

The Youth Theater Program and the performances will all be held at the Theater 29 complex at 73637 Sullivan Road in Twentynine Palms. This year’s Dr Seuss inspired program is split into two age groups: 7 to 10 year old “Juniors” and the 11 to 17 year old “Seniors” who will learn a wide variety of theatrical skills from auditioning to performance and everything in between for five weeks, Monday through Friday.

The cost for the Program is $60.00 per student. Scholarships are also available.

Registration will open in March, and it will be available at theatre29.org
