I’m trying to find an acting or drama birthday party in the Twin Cities but I don’t think any of the theaters offer one!
Hi Erin:
Stages Theatre Company offers a “Create Your Own Workshop” option. This might work for a birthday party.
Another idea is 2 Defy Gravity — a Circus Arts Duo that offers birthday parties. It’s a little off the drama idea, but could be fun.
While we have no experience with them, there is a company in Edina called DramaKids that has birthday parties.
I hope some of these ideas help.
Hi… another very fun and super awesome experience for Birthday’s is Gamin Ride’s Mobile Video Game Theater! 🙂
