What's more entertaining than an evening at the theatre? The Performing Arts Committee produces summer musical theatre productions, concerts, recitals, melodramas, dinner theatre productions, workshops and much more! The committee takes a leadership role in planning the entertainment for the Fall Festival and hosts a wide variety of concerts, ballets, musicals, and more throughout the year. Committee members are a diverse group of talented individuals who are interested in excellent music, theatre, and dance. Local talent is recognized and utilized in much of the programming. 

Children's Theatre Summer Workshop

The Olney Arts Council recognizes that the future of the arts in our community rests in the hands of our youth. The Performing Arts Committee works diligently to create opportunities for children to experience the joy of performance and theatre. Every other summer, the Arts Council holds a summer children's theatre workshop in which students attend a daily camp for a week-four weeks learning about character development, choreography, directing, music, costuming and much more all the while rehearsing for a production. The culminating event of the workshop is a play or musical in which the students perform for parents and community members. This is an excellent and exciting chance for your child to develop a deeper appreciation for theatre!
