Titus Theatre
Titus Theatre is the Theatre component of Complete Worship. We currently have programs for kids from Kindergarten through 12th grade.
Our programs are designed to include students in as many aspects of the programs as possible. Students are actors, crew members, and directors. Experienced adult mentors help them develop the skills they need and gain the experience needed to master these skills.
The skills developed go way beyond "theatre skills" and include personal character development, life skills, social skills, academic skills, mental health, and emotional skills. Here are some just to name a few (okay maybe more than a few, but this is still not all of them):
communication, teamwork, leadership, adaptability, flexibility, memorization, problem-solving, resilience, relating to others, receiving & giving constructive criticism/feedback, and respect for others.
Our program locations currently include: Bronner Performing Arts Center in Frankenmuth, St. Lorenz in Frankenmuth, St. Martin in Birch Run, The State Theatre in Bay City, and Westminster Presbyterian Church in Bay City.
