    Youth Theatre Program
    Since 1991, Calliope has been operating a year-round Youth Theatre Program for area students. This program consists of Spring and Fall Workshops and a Summer Theatre Day Camp for students 7 - 12, as well as an annual Teen Summer Musical which has been incorporated into Calliope's main-stage season.

    In the past 14 seasons over 1000 students from a six-town region have participated in Calliope's Youth Theatre Programs.

    Last year Calliope's Summer Youth Theatre presented Fame (teen) and Pinocchio (pre-teen). This year the teens are presenting the musical West Side Story, and the pre-teens will stage You're a Good Man Charlie Brown.

    • Java & Jazz Coffeehouse Evenings

    Calliope also stages "road shows" during the year - musical revues and mystery dinner theatre productions - as fund-raisers for local clubs, churches and other organizations.
