Peter Pan

The Raleigh Little Theatre Education Program is in its 21sth year.

More than 800 students enroll each year in classes, camps and workshops. These are offered on-site and in Apex through its Parks and Recreation Department.

Most of our classes focus on the process of creating theatre through fun, imaginative, nurturing, creative play and ensemble building.
