Who Is Right For Paper Moon?

The theater is a reflection of life, sometimes life enhanced, therefore the theater accepts & needs all types of people, personalities and characters.  Bold or shy, dramatic or subtle... We need You!  Exactly as you are!  We will all grow together.

The only real requirements are a true desire to be in Paper Moon, a willingness to participate, and responsibility for your role.   As with any theater company, we ask that every player accepts what it means to be part of a theater troupe.  It is the responsibility of learning your lines, listening & following directions, participating fully, being willing to try new things, being there & ready when you are needed as you are part of a team that needs you, and being respectful of your cast & director during rehearsals because it’s more fun that way!  Above all else it’s about having fun & we have a ton! 😊  

Cleverly Disguised Life Lessons

The ability to speak confidently in front of a group is an enormous asset for a child’s future – whether for school presentations, job interviews, work presentations, or performance on the stage itself.  The ability to think on your feet and come up with creative solutions is useful in all careers and aspects of life. The ability to step into another’s shoes, live their life for a moment, & relate to them is also a wonderful lesson in empathy.  The ability to work with a group, have all voices heard and create as a team is a tremendous skill.  The ability to have self-confidence & acceptance of themselves and others is a gift that can last a life time!
