What are we all about?
Riddlesbrood is more than just a theater program. It's a journey into the world of traditional values, community, and personal growth. Through our engaging performances and interactive workshops, kids and teens will discover the importance of personal responsibility, confidence, and taking action to achieve their goals.
From First Performance to Paid Performer
Many children begin with Riddlesbrood in our community festival productions. As they grow, they can take on larger roles, develop their performance skills, and—in some cases—move into paid work with our professional touring company as young adults.
- Learn and Rehearse: Over 12 weeks, (Rehearsals are generally about 2 hours once a week - so about 20 hours for a production) participants will immerse themselves in the world of theater, rehearsing a show, learning their parts, and honing their craft. Under the guidance of our experienced instructors, all volunteers from the community, they will participate in improvisational games and workshops, building their confidence, fostering friendships, and developing skills that will serve them well in all aspects of life.
- Perform at Historic Smithville: After weeks of hard work, participants will showcase their talents in a mainstage outdoor performance in the Historic Village of Smithville, NJ. This free event, open to the public, invites you, your family, and friends to join us in celebrating the achievements of our young actors. The performance is a testament to the transformative power of theater, as participants experience the thrill of performing in front of an enthusiastic audience.
