About Piven Theatre Workshop

At the Piven Theatre Workshop, children and adults alike have the opportunity to explore the joys of theatre within a safe and playful atmosphere. Through a wide variety of games and techniques, students can open their imaginations, act on impulse, and focus on their fellow actors instead of self-critiquing. With this, the Workshop builds a community and an ensemble in which students can take risks and find their individual voices. It also provides them with the necessary skills to communicate truthfully and with conviction on stage or screen.

The classes, camps and experiences this business offers.

SUMMER CAMPS

This summer, Piven Theatre Workshop invites you to have fun, build new friendships, and discover your own unique voice through our summer camps. For 50 years, Piven has been giving each individual student the training, mentorship, and support needed to achieve excellence and to find their community both onstage and off. Discover why the Chicago Tribune calls Piven Theatre Workshop “one of this area’s most distinguished actor training centers!”

SPRING YOUTH CLASSES

Perfect for the young student who wants to begin exploring theatre arts in a fun, supportive environment! Students stretch their creative muscles through theatre games while they begin to discover the art of storytelling and improvisation. This class provides the perfect introduction to the Piven training technique! Students focus on using improvisation as a tool for young actors in scene study in the fall and have the opportunity to explore Story Theatre, Piven’s signature performance form in the spring. Open to new and returning students, especially those who are interested in learning about the techniques employed by Piven’s professional-level youth ensembles.

FALL YOUTH CLASSES

Join a dedicated ensemble of young storytellers and explore a unique, virtual approach to the Piven method. We use improv games to create original characters, locations, and stories, all while taking advantage of Zoom to hone on-camera technique. Students will gain skills as actors, collaborators, and creative writers. Get ready to play and let your imagination soar!
