For kids ages 7 to 12 who want to focus on channeling their confidence through theatre, PETA's Children's Theatre course will suit them well. Each activity will help build each child's confidence by immersing them in rhythmic movements, dance, singing, games, painting, and puppetry. The Acting for Teens course, available for ages 13 to 17, teaches the fundamentals of acting. Participants can expect to discover the art of channeling emotions and using body language to create a sincere and engaging performance.

The Musical Theatre course will also be available for teens. Activities will highlight the connections between body, music, and storytelling, and will help each participant improve upon their musicality by interpreting pieces effectively. Lastly, PETA is also offering Writing for Performance course for teens who are young, aspiring writers, who would want to have an introductory workshop on writing performative pieces. More than lessons on the rudiments of writing, participants will be engaged in writing exercises that will help free them of creative blocks as well as empower them as young writers.
