About Summer Children’s Theater Workshop productions: The Silver Stage Players has involved children in shows ever since the beginning of the company. In the mid 1990’s, the company decided to start producing certain shows during the summer school break where all of the actors on stage were children (under 18); SSP called these shows Summer Children’s Theater Workshops. Included in the rehearsal process for these shows are various theater games and stage-craft workshops to help children increase their dramatic potential. Children are taken through an entire production run – from auditions, through rehearsals, and to the show, including build (putting the set together), tech (getting sound, lighting, and anything else correct), dress rehearsal, public performances, and strike (taking down the set).
