The Whitney Players Theater Company offers acting workshops in the Spring and the Fall for children and teens 17 and under.  Classes include theater games, script work, monologues,  and improv to improve and polish students' acting abilities.  The workshops culminate in a performance of one act plays which offers all children the chance to showcase their talents.

The Whitney Players Theater Company is a group of artists dedicated to bringing affordable, quality entertainment to the Hamden community while educating young actors through music, dance and drama.


The program is designed to integrate area professional actors with the youth from our community.  Our goal is to provide professional acting, dance and musical instruction while forming a company and producing a full length entertaining musical.  The goal for the young people is to learn from this experience and grow as performers.
