The Petite Players are a Junior drama troupe in residency at the Grand Theatre. Children in grades 3 through 12 are accepted into the program by auditioning prior to the Spring Musical or the Fall Musical. The ten month program includes two performances per year, workshops on a variety of theatre topics, field trips, and opportunities for community service. In addition, members who prefer working behind the scenes are given opportunities to focus on the technical aspects of theatre including lighting, sound, make-up, costuming, and stage management.
