Creative Theatre for Children

Although the teen musical theatre program is the focus of our work in Monteverde, Costa Rica, we recognize the need in the community for age-appropriate creative activities for younger children.

During the summers of 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2014, as well as the fall of 2011, FCCMT has offered a separate creative theatre program for children ages 6-12. The program runs for two weeks during the Costa Rican public school vacation in July, for two hours per day. Participants learn basic performing and storytelling skills, which they then use to write and produce their own play.

Our ability to offer this program is dependent on the availability of qualified volunteers and interns. If you are interested in volunteering for our children's program, please contact director@farcornersmusicals.org.

If you live in Monteverde or will visit Monteverde over the summer and are interested in having your children participate if we offer a program this year, contact ​our Monteverde coordinator at coordinadormv@farcornersmusicals.org.

Report on Week 1 of the 2011 Children's Program:

During the first week of the children's program, the kids learned about characters and emotions, setting, costumes, and script writing. We read aloud some wonderful children's books that contained social issues, such as empathy, poverty, and discrimination. To our amazement, the kids clearly understood and identified with these issues, and wanted to immediately act out the dialogue in the books! These kids do not joke around—they were ready to jump right in!

The scriptwriting process was surprisingly easy with these amazing Tico kids. They were so motivated and ready that ideas flowed fairly easily from their creative minds onto the page. We even finished writing the script a day early, and decided to take that time to write a song and dance number! That, actually, proved to be a little more  difficult, because none of the kids have written a song before, but it's a learning experience for all of us.
