Preschool through 12th graders wishing to study drama may enroll in classes at either Wonderscope Children's Museum of Kansas City or take classes at the Avila University campus, depending on their proximity to the site where classes are held and the day that would best fit a student's schedule.

Tuesday evening weekly classes begin January 26, 2010 at Wonderscope located at 5700 King in Shawnee, Kansas, and end April 13, 2010. 

Saturday morning weekly classes will take place in the Goppert Theatre complex on the Avila University Campus located at 11901 Wornall Road, in Kansas City, Missouri. Spring semester classes at Avila begin on Saturday, January 30, 2010 and end April 17, 2010.  

All preschool through 12th graders wishing to study drama are encouraged to enroll.  Theatre for Young America is in its 33rd year of theater instruction and follows the model curriculum set out by the American Alliance for Theater and Education.  Older students may also have the opportunity to audition for age-appropriate roles in professional Theatre for Young America productions from time to time.  TYA is often called upon to recommend students for acting positions in other companies as well.

The eleven-week classes are $124.00 per semester.   An additional 10% discount is offered to season ticket holders or to parents enrolling more than one child in a class.  Installment payment arrangements are also available. Enrollments may be taken until February 22, 2010 if a class has not yet reached its capacity of 15 students per class.   To enroll online go to www.tya.org or to enroll by telephone, call 816.460.2083.
