Tweed & Co. is offering the following classes for Bancroft and area youngsters and teens aged 4 to 18 years; Music and Movement ages 4 to 6, Kids' Musical Theatre ages 7 to 12, and Teen Musical Theatre ages 13 and above. Porter told The Bancroft Times on Sept. 17 that they are so excited to bring their youth theatre classes back to town this fall. 

“Parents and kids can expect a fun and safe environment where students can try something new, expand their skillsets and take their talent to the next level. We have been offering these educational programs since 2023, and hundreds of kids have come through our classes since we started.,” he says. “The community response is always wonderful and there is a lot of excitement to see them return each year.”
