PCS Youth Theater
The PCS Youth Theater was created in 1987 with a production of "Babes in Arms" after a successful Choral Society production of "Annie" which featured local children. Pete and Maryjane Peluso, choreographer Chris Kuzia, and PCS member Sue Beckius, among others, realized that a Youth Theater would fill a need in the community. The following year the Youth Theater became affiliated with Wheeler Regional YMCA. Over the past 16 years the Youth Theater has involved an average of 80 children per year aged 8 to 15 in a summer theater experience, culminating with performances in early September. Productions have included "Tintypes," "Godspell," "Bye Bye Birdie" and "Leader Of The Pack." In May 2002 the Youth Theater came full circle, rejoining the Choral Society in our revival production of "Annie." And in a return to their roots, the Youth Theater presented a revival production of "Babes in Arms" in September 2005.
The Plainville Choral Society Youth Theater mission is to provide an educational and enjoyable artistic experience in theater for youth aged 8 to 15 in Plainville and surrounding communities.
Call Foster White at 860-747-6907 if you would like to help with any aspect of our Youth Theater productions.
