The Wilbury Theatre Group

Contemporary Professional Theatre on the West Side

The Wilbury Theatre Group is a contemporary professional theatre on Sonoma Court in Providence's West Side, founded 2010. Alongside its mainstage adult work the company runs an education program with kid camps and physical-theatre intensives.

Camps and Classes for Kids

Seasonal programming focused on physical and devised theater. Programs include:
- Tall Tales from the Smallest State Summer Camp (ages 7-12)
- Kids Camp (ages 8-10)
- The Booboisie - Two-Year Intensive in Physical Theater
- Embodied Action acting class
- The Director's Forum
- School and youth organization partnerships

What's Included

• Faculty from working professional Providence theatre artists
• Physical-theater and devised-work pedagogy (rare for this age)
• Studio classroom space inside the Wilbury venue
• Performance opportunities at end of camps

Experience

Best for kids who like creating original work rather than performing scripts. Wilbury's physical-theater focus and devised-work curriculum gives an early grounding in approaches more common at conservatory level.
