Barrio Stars Youth Theater Workshops!

Welcome to Borderlands’ Youth Theater Program in Tucson!

In all levels of Barrio Stars programs we strive to promote literacy, cultural competence, and confidence all in an effort to build strong communities.

At the elementary level, students are learning the foundations of theater with exciting theater games and learning discipline through story-telling. Students are able to perform and memorize a half-hour original show in just 1 week with costumes, props and sound!

At the middle school level, students build upon their disciplinary skills and get to dive deeper into Barrio Stars principles of confidence, team-work, and cultural pride. At this level, students are encouraged to work together to put on a half-hour original performance with costumes, props, lighting, sound, and set! The bonds they make during this one week are strong enough to last a lifetime.

At the high school level, students get an inside-scoop through a 4-week long intensive with workshops by UA Theater students and award-winning industry professionals. This month-long program promotes college readiness and paths to careers in the Theater. Students take technique building workshops and put their new knowledge to the test in a full-production.

At every level, we strive to build long-lasting relationships with students and their families through open communication. Teaching artists communicate daily with parents and final performances are free for all friends and relatives to enjoy!
