ACTING CLASSES

For students in grades K-12 who are just beginning to discover the joy of performing arts, or are too busy to take our year-round classes, we offer after school and Saturday acting courses at the theater. These sessions focus on the fundamentals of theater including character building, scene-study, playwriting and improvisation and are taught by our education staff. Each class culminates in a performance open to friends and family. Note: Dates and times are approximate. You will be contacted with specific start dates/end dates upon registration.
