Theatre 7 periodically offers workshops on various aspects of theatre production. Listed below are some of the workshops we have offered in the past. Typically, we host the workshops at our headquarters building, but if a group is interested in having us come to them to do a presentation, we would be happy to take the show on the road, if it works with the presenter's schedule. To schedule a workshop for your organization or to suggest topics for future workshops, contact us at 423-2107 or via e-mail at mail@theatre7.net.
