Great Hall Youth Theatre at the Angelus Theatre in Spanish Fork, Utah, offers year-round performing arts education for children and teens ages 6 through 18. Students can explore acting, singing, dancing, improvisation, playwriting, and musical theatre in a welcoming environment designed to build confidence, encourage creativity, and foster lasting friendships. No previous theatre experience is required, and every student is given opportunities to participate and shine on stage.
The program offers classes for different ages, experience levels, and interests. Young Actors introduces children ages 6 to 10 to foundational acting skills, including voice, diction, projection, improvisation, and stage combat. Homeschool Actors provides a similar introduction for homeschool students ages 6 to 16. Intermediate Acting serves students ages 11 to 16, while Advanced Acting gives older youth opportunities to explore more challenging material, larger roles, acting for film, directing, screenwriting, and advanced improvisation.
Students interested in musical theatre can choose Preteen Music Dance Theatre for ages 7 to 12 or Teen Music Dance Theatre for ages 13 to 18. These performance-based programs combine acting, singing, and dancing, helping students develop their skills through productions throughout the year. The teen program offers a more intensive Saturday morning experience for students ready to commit to rehearsals and practice outside class. Private vocal coaching is also available for ages 8 to 18, providing individualized singing instruction with Teresa Gashler.

Students learn to memorize lines, practice music and choreography, collaborate with others, and develop stage presence while gaining practical experience in the performing arts.
