Petite Players
“A dream is a wish your heart makes” is a song from Cinderella that could sum up the Petite Players. Grand Theatre owner Lori Kolodziej could only dream of a Children’s Drama Troupe years before she, and a group of dedicated parents and volunteers, were able to make it a reality.
Back in the spring of 2007, Musical Theatre students at the Grand Theatre were looking for a way to continue their theatre experience, stay together as a group, and showcase their talents on a regular basis. In June of 2007 a group of 28 kids starred in their first production of Jungle Book. The success of that production was the initial formation of the Petite Players (Petite was chosen as a “play” on the theatre’s name Grand).
The program strives to enhance self-esteem, foster team spirit, and provide an outstanding opportunity for young people to share in the thrill of performing arts. One of the real benefits is the opportunity to meet and act with children from many different schools. In addition to two performances per year, the program schedules regular workshops and field trips to allow members to experience the technical aspects of theatre.
