One acts are short plays that are typically performed in under 30 minutes. They're a great way for kids to get their feet wet in theater without having to commit to a full-length play. Musicals are similar to one acts, but they include music and singing.

Both one acts and musicals can be a lot of fun for kids ages 12. They're a great way to learn about teamwork, cooperation, and responsibility. And they can also help kids develop their self-confidence and self-esteem.
