TRYPS Children's Theater (Theater Reaching Young People & Schools) is a not-for-profit children's theater in Columbia, MO, and the only year-round theater company in the area offering programming for young people ages 4-21.
Our mission is to teach, reach, and inspire through the magic of theater. We teach children about the performing arts, reach those young people who would not otherwise get to experience live theater, and inspire kids of all ages to find their own creative voices.
TRYPS' annual calendar includes:
• A season of full productions including 2-3 family friendly shows, and one teen production suitable for older audiences.
• Theater, dance, and music classes for young people 4 years old through 12th grade
• After-School Arts Enrichment for grades K-5
• Single day, One-Week, and Two-Week camps for grades K-8
TRYPS also offers an abundance of free outreach programming including:
• Theatre workshops at the public library on the first Saturday of each month
• Technical theater internships for grades 6-12
• Shadow Teacher training for grades 6-12
TRYPS hires professional Teaching Artists, Directors, Choreographers, Costume and Lighting Designers, Stage Managers, Guest Artists and more from our mid-Missouri region to mentor, teach, and direct our young actors in high-quality family entertainment. We offer scholarships to any child who applies for financial assistance to take a class, appear in a play, or attend a camp, and subsidize school group matinee tickets, lowering the child's ticket from $8 to $4.
