This Fall, our theme is…Flip the Script!

We know and love stories like the Wizard of Oz and Maui the Demigod. But what happens when someone imagines a whole new version?  We get wildly popular stories like Wicked and Moana, of course!

This fall we are going to explore well-known stories and flip the narrative!

Here’s what we’ll do:

  • Choose a well-known story
  • Ask “What if…?” – What if the Three Pigs wanted to have a surfing competition?
  • Flip the Script! – Create a whole new story using those famous characters

For the Fall of 2025, the Primary Players will become actors, writers, and designers, and will collaborate to create new versions of the same-old stories.

Join us as we ask “What if…?” and Flip the Script!

Special Note about Participant Age Requirement:

We appreciate those that seek programs for children under 7 years old, however currently all of the HTY participatory programs require that children are 7 years old upon sign-up.

HTY programs are only available to 7 year olds and above, as we want to ensure that all participants in our programs have benefitted from the social and behavioral experience of at least kindergarten. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to the day your child turns 7!

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT REFUNDS FOR 2025: If you decide to withdraw from the program after registering with payment, a refund will only be available when the vacated spot can be filled by another participant PRIOR TO THE START OF THE PROGRAM. Please make a firm commitment to joining our program.

Registration Notes:

  • Registrations are processed on a first come, first served basis.
  • Payment is required to secure your child(ren)’s place in the program.
  • We recommend that you register and pay early as the program sells out quickly.
  • A confirmation email from the Drama Education Department will be sent after receipt of both registration form and payment. This may take up to 2 business days.

More about Primary Players

Participating in Primary Players inspires children to discover the creative fun of theatre. Through theatre games and dramatic exploration, the Primary Players develop comfort and confidence with presenting playful performances and build imaginative abilities.

When your child joins Primary Players, they become an integral piece to the creating and performance process! Attendance and promptness are important to your child’s learning experience. If you know your child can’t commit to all 10 sessions due to previous commitments, we ask that you check with us ahead of time or join us for future sessions.
