Bancroft Memorial Library brings performing arts to tweens, teens

Bancroft Memorial Library is excited to share that Youth Services Librarian Laura Brillant-Giangrande has received an Arts in Public Libraries grant from the Greater Worcester Community Foundation! Thanks to this grant, the Library will welcome international performer Robert Rivest for a series of fun, interactive programs for tweens and teens in November. 

Through mime, improv and comedy, young people will have the chance to try something new, express themselves, and build confidence while exploring the performing arts.

On Mon., Nov. 16, at 6 p.m., tweens ages 9-12 are invited to join us for “Tween Scene: Mime, Comedy & Improv” where participants will explore movement, mime, comedy, and improvisation through fun, interactive activities. 

On Mon., Nov. 23, at 6 p.m., teens ages 13–17 are invited to join Robert for a hands-on workshop exploring character, comedy and expression through facial expressions, body language and communication.

Both programs are drop-in, and no registration is required. We hope local tweens and teens will join us for these exciting opportunities to get creative and have some fun at the Library!
