This low-pressure class environment allows students to explore a variety pack of acting tools and techniques for budding young talents including improv, character creation, scripted scenes/sketches and commercials, without the pressure of rehearsing and preparation associated with putting on a show. Build confidence, presentation, social and public speaking skills. Highlights of the students’ work have often been presented in a showcase for an invited audience at the end of the session if the class is comfortable. If students elect not to hold a performance, we will provide parents with video clips of student work from the class session.
Registration: $280 (10% off all eight-week registrations made thru March 25, 2024).

In this drama class, students will develop stage adaptations based on children’s literature, such as fractured fairy tales, cultural fables, fiction, and non-fiction stories that will be used to teach educational lessons. (A new adaptation is explored each session for recurring students.) Together, they will learn basic stage skills and direction, explore character development, creative use of movement, develop stage-speaking skills, and build confidence! At the end of this course the students will present this performance for an invited audience (with costumes, props, minor set pieces, and stage lighting) on the final date, June 22 (during the scheduled class time). This acting class promises to be fun, exciting and memorable. All students must be available for the showcase performance.
Registration: $350 (10% off all eight-week registrations made thru March 25, 2024)
