Ogunquit Playhouse Announces Fall Youth Programs

On the heels of a successful summer launch of their On-Line Academy, Ogunquit Playhouse and their new Arts Colony theatre education center have unveiled 14 new courses and workshops for the Fall semester. Professional teaching artists from Broadway, National tours, and leading Regional theaters lead this diverse set of programming, designed for online delivery to groups of 10, to ensure students receive the individual time and attention the work deserves.

I can't even put to words how grateful I was as a parent to see my child so happy, interacting with a group of kids in this new normal. He's had many fun experiences this summer, but this camp was at the top of the list."
