Early in February, Douglas Morrisson Theatre saw two productions from local youth.
Alumni, actors and first-timers from The Theatre Factory performed “The Wizard of Oz” on Feb. 2, as part of a program in partnership with Newark Recreation.
On Feb 8., a performance of “Matilda” marked a special Educator’s Night, with a cast of 40 actors ages seven to 16, and an audience including 20 local educators and principals. This was the first-ever production from Hayward Area Park and Recreation District’s (H.A.R.D.) Youth Repertory program.
Ish Amitoj Kaur directed both plays (The Theatre Factory, Rrooar, Fiery Blossom Creations).

We’re so proud of these young actors. For more youth theater activities and classes check out haywardrec.org and click “Registration”.
