ACTING PROGRAM INFORMATION - WINTER 2025

Theatre Sarnia is thrilled to announce that this year, our Youth Group Programming will be adding a winter session for our acting program!

In this program, we are going to put on a full length play! Program participants will get to experience how a whole play gets put together, both on and off the stage. They will not only get the chance to experience an audition, be cast in a role(s), work together with their cast in rehearsals to develop their acting skills and performance techniques, but also get to explore the worlds of set, prop, and costume creation. All these elements will come together in a live performance on the Imperial stage in April! There is limited space available - reserve your spot today!

Play: Space Princess Wars

When Archer finds herself a captive audience for her dad's latest masterpiece, it seems pretty familiar for a fantasy adventure screenplay at first. Wars, in the stars. Brides, of the princess variety. This story's got such an incredibly absurd array of heroes, villains, robots, and romances, it's total chaos. But once Archer gets pulled in to the mashup tale of a princess with a secret agenda and some space wizards destined for greatness, she starts to wonder: Could this be so much chaos it's actually... genius?
