Where kids can make a scene!
Spring at TRYPS is bursting with opportunities for young performers to play, create, and shine!
From our tiniest stars in TRYPSters (ages 1+) to high school students ready to take center stage, there’s a class for every age, interest, and experience level. Budding actors can explore storytelling in Creative Drama, bring characters to life in Mini-Play, sharpen their quick thinking in Improv, or dive behind the scenes with THREADS costume design. Whether your child is stepping into the spotlight for the first time or building on years of experience, TRYPS is the place to grow confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love of theater.

Don’t be late for this very important date!
Tumble down the rabbit hole and join TRYPS for a magical Royal Tea in Wonderland—where teacups twirl, laughter bubbles over, and your favorite royal characters are ready to meet, greet, and celebrate with you! Enjoy sweet treats, delightful surprises, and a tea party that’s perfectly mad in all the best ways.
Best of all, every sip supports TRYPS and helps bring the magic of theater to young performers in our community. Costumes encouraged, curiosity required!
Fall down the rabbit hole with Alice as she navigates the curious world of Wonderland on a journey of self-discovery.
When young Alice finds herself in a strange world where everything seems upside down, she must find her way home…and find herself along the way. As she travels through Wonderland, she encounters all of the iconic characters that audiences have come to love: including the ever-tardy White Rabbit, the grinning Cheshire Cat, a cool Caterpillar, the wacky Mad Hatter, and the hot-tempered Queen of Hearts.

PJ Play Days are back for 25-26!
Play Day is an all-day theater workshop scheduled on days that Columbia Public Schools are closed.

Kids can wear their public appropriate PJs and PLAY the day away with us!
Summer Camp is coming Soon!
Lights. Music. New friends. Big confidence.

No experience needed. Imagination required.
Camp programming runs from 9am-3pm Monday-Friday.
