Center Theatre continues free after school program

DOVER-FOXCROFT – On Monday, Sept. 16, the Center Theatre will be restarting the free afterschool program for high school students. The program takes place from 3-5 p.m. on most weekdays that Foxcroft Academy is in session.

“We like to leave some flexibility in the program,” said Patrick Myers, the theatre’s executive director. “We try to cater the work to what the kids are interested in, while still keeping them involved in current events and productions at the theatre. And some days, kids can work on theater projects, homework, or decide they don’t want to be productive at all and relax in the theatre.”
