Theatre Camp
Theatre Camp for Edmundite Missions'
New Possibilities Youth Program
Through a partnership with Edmundite Missions, Yellowhammer Theatre Group conducts a theatre camp for 6th-8th graders. Campers -- many of whom haven't seen a play or been in a play -- learn the basics of theatre, including story structure for playwriting, stage directions and working as an ensemble. Divided into groups, they work in teams to adapt children’s stories into plays under the guidance of teaching artists. The campers create characters, write all the dialogue and stage directions, choose props and costumes. The camp culminates in a performance for family, friends and the community. The campers learn to convey ideas with clarity, confidence and respect; develop empathy by creating characters from different backgrounds; and rely on each other’s strengths to achieve a mutual goal.

Workshops
Yellowhammer Theatre Group Founder Patti Siegel teaches an enrichment class on the arts for the Selma chapter of Aum Foundation's Pathway 2 Success. About the program:
The Aum Foundation offers the Pathway 2 Success (P2S) Program for under-resourced female high school students in their senior year. The purpose of the program is to allow the student to gain experience and insight into their career path, while also building life skills to aid them in breaking generational poverty and prepare them for the workforce. We encourage our participants to develop and implement a comprehensive education and career plan through mentoring, enrichment programs, and job shadowing. The end goal of our program is to provide our girls with the tools to achieve higher education degrees, economic independence, and, in turn, give back to the community.
