FALL 2010
Fall 2010 after school, evening and weekend workshops will begin September 23, 2010, and we have an exciting line-up of creative programs for kids, teens and adults!
All programs take place in a safe, professional environment on the Sterling Farms Theatre Complex and are designed to promote participation in the arts, develop more successful lives, build greater self-confidence and awareness, and are a great way to make new friends with common interests!
We offer payment installment plans and need-based scholarships for students and families. For more information, you may contact our Education Director Brian Bianco at 203-329-8207 x16 or brian@curtaincallinc.com.
For kids, teens and adults...
Our workshops for kids are designed to create a non-pressure environment where students can build social skills and learn to work as a team. Games, exercises and scene-work center around the group working as an ensemble. Improv, music, movement and story-telling exercises lay the foundation for understanding plot and characters, while providing structure for fun and exciting social interaction.
Teens and “tweens” can enjoy a more advanced level of classes designed not only to build social interaction and confidence, but also creative instincts and trust in their own ideas as well as their fellow actors.
...AND WE"RE NOT JUST FOR KIDS! Adults also benefit from our workshops, and Curtain Call offers master classes that allow experienced performers to hone their skills, while creating a comfortable and encouraging environment for newcomers.
We accept Visa, Mastercard or Discover. Checks can be made payable to Curtain Call, Inc. and mailed to:
