Storybook Theatre

Registration Information

Mission Statement:
The mission of The Storybook Theatre is to:

• Enrich our community through stories of hope,
• Encourage our families to build moral character, and
• Develop confidence in our students to speak, present, and perform in public.

Our Goals:
Your child will:

• Learn theater skills,
• Gain confidence speaking on and off stage,
• Learn godly character, and
• Be challenged to think with a Christian worldview.

Who Can Attend?
Students, ages 10-18, can participate in The Storybook Theatre. Also, students who are interested in learning about theater but who are not interested in performing, other opportunities are available. If you have experience, opportunities include light or sound tech, creating sets/scenery, costume organizing, and directing scenes.

Fundraising:
Your registration fee helps cover some of our expenses, including supplies, costumes, props, backdrops, printing, etc. However, these fees and the donations we receive at our shows are not enough to cover our expenses for this program. Therefore, to help offset these costs, we are offering a fundraising opportunity with prizes for the top three students who help raise the most support for their show.

Volunteers:
We are always looking for volunteers to help make and/or paint sets, organize props, help backstage, fill in for sound/light technicians if no one registers for those areas, and help clean.

Dress Code:
Due to the athletic nature of acting, actors and actresses should wear clothes that allow for full range of motion and coverage. Please wear shirts that are long enough to either remain tucked in or cover stomach completely, even when raising arms in theatrical movements and active games. Please wear shirts that have a tight enough neckline that will allow you to bend over without exposing your chest. Please wear shorts or pants that will completely cover all underwear and will allow you to move around without exposing any part of your underwear. Actresses, if you are wearing a dress or skirt, please wear leggings or shorts underneath.

*Leggings or biker shorts and tight tanks or t-shirts will be needed to be worn under costumes for practices and shows. The color is to be determined by costume.

Registration Directions:
Spaces are limited. All forms and payments are due by May 1, 2026 and registration will close then. In order for your registration to be accepted, the registration form must be completed, and a parent and each student must agree to the conduct agreement, liability waiver, and dress code.
