First Light Theatre is a not-for-profit
theatre company for young people designed to augment traditional
education experiences by providing students with opportunities
to learn, experience and perform, helping them to become confident
communicators and community contributors.
The focus of First Light Theatre is to engage youth from a
wide range of backgrounds by using the catalyst of Drama.
Through acting workshops and classes, as well as the production
of a full scale theatrical production students build perspective
on a variety of topics and issues, while developing better
communication skills and a greater commitment to community
service.
First Light Theatre uses Drama to engage young people with
an experience that will help build skills in leadership, communication,
risk-taking, commitment as well as an awareness of the power
of cooperative work. Working with students from primary school
age to high school, First Light Theatre helps young people
develop self-awareness and self-acceptance by combining the
challenges of interpersonal relations, group commitment, and
personal communications through the discipline of drama and
by mounting a full theatrical production.
In schools fighting to maintain budgets to teach the basics,
First Light Theatre provides:
Classes and workshops which will engage
a wide range of youth in terms of social background, age and
educational status
FLT will offer a play development program for young people.
This play will be toured through a selected number of schools
in the community.
Each year First Light Theatre will
seek to stage a professional quality production which has
relevance to young people and builds on the current school
curriculum.
First Light Theatre is a company whose
mandate is to provide experiences in creative drama and theatre
for young people. Dramatic productions include both scripted
and original works, which focus on themes that are relevant
to young performers and audiences. Training is provided in
acting, character development, physical movement and vocal
expression in a positive learning environment. First Light
Theatre offers the opportunity to participate in workshops
