A traditional community event for the whole family...FREE!
The GO ART! Summer Youth Theatre Program is in its 10th "season" in Genesee County, and is just starting out this year in Orleans County. The program was initiated by a grant from then Congressman John Sheffer, and it has grown tremendously each year from there - this year's Genesee County Program will include over 75 youths in cast or crew positions. This year, GO ART! received a generous grant from the Curtis Foundation and also an increase in support from the Orleans County Legislature to enable us to extend this successful program into Orleans County. We are very proud of this purely volunteer effort to bring live theatre produced by local youth to the young and the young-at-heart in our communities. We hope you'll join us in celebrating this wonderful program by attending one of the performances.
Parents with children interested in participating in future Youth Theatre productions may contact the GO ART! office with questions. Auditions are generally held in early June for the Genesee County production and in late July for Orleans County (watch local newspapers for announcements).
GO ART! does not directly mail audition announcements.
