Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum
Since its founding in 1973, education has been central to the mission of Theatricum Botanicum. The value and importance of passing on a love of community, language, music, theatre, and art to the next generation is at the organization’s core.
Theatricum’s Education Programs instill values of inclusion, community, collaboration, and creativity. These programs reinforce the importance of poetic language, music, theatre, and art for the development of the next generation. Through the Academy of the Classics’ Young People (Age 4-7), Youth, and Teen Programs, Theatricum serves this mission by providing lifelong learning opportunities to students of all ages through diverse programs that inspire, include, and engage. These classes, workshops, and camps empower students with confidence; provide them opportunities to practice collaboration, creative and critical thinking in a positive, nurturing environment; and to introduce them to Shakespeare heightened language, kinesthetic theatre techniques, and their own powerful voices all with the goal of inspiring a lifelong relationship with language and art.
Classes, Camps, and Workshops for ages 4-18 include:
Theatricum's Renowned Drama Camp
Teen Shakespeare Intensive with University Style Showcase
Acting
Fencing and Stage Combat
Musical Theatre
Playwrighting and Performing

and More!
All programs are held 100% outdoors on Theatricum's stages and gardens, nestled in Topanga Canyon in the shade of the old growth oak trees.
