The specific philosophy behind PushPush Theater's youth program, Small Tall, unique to the Atlanta theater community, is that the more young audiences are exposed to challenging work, the easier it will be to present them with high-quality work when they are older. Finding metaphors and motifs in classic drama that reflect young people's life experience can help youth understand difficult themes in challenging works of art and ensure that masterpieces are kept alive and fresh for new audiences. In essence, our mission is to develop young audiences to grow up to be valuable cultural patrons of, and participants, in the arts.

Kids who participate in theater get better SAT scores, have improved reading and communication skills, learn collaboration and problem-solving, and have improved confidence! You'll notice a difference

We are offering workshops that will include theater, film, and improv components, and will allow students to try their hand at work behind and in front of the lights. The story will unfold utilizing all three components. Some workshops will culminate in a lively public performance/screening on the final day of the program. Our goals with Small Tall programs are to enhance participants’ imagination, communication, confidence, and thinking skills while sensitizing them to team work. Teens and youth will work separately but come together to create the final performance. The workshops are challenging and require focus, but they are also fun and tremendously rewarding. We invite your young person to come play! All camps are taught by leading professional artists in their related fields.
