In this supportive environment, children learn basic theater skills through theater games, improvisation and role-playing. Students develop their imaginations, intuition, and problem-solving skills while exploring and connecting with their creative selves. Each session culminates with an informal share day created by the students. 

This class gives students the opportunity to explore characters and learn how to make personal connections to them. They will learn how to analyze a character and answer the basic questions that actors must ask themselves when approaching a piece of work: Who? Where? What? Why? How?Students will be be assigned scenes or a short play to develop and present at the end of the session.  Theater games and improvisation are part of the fun too!

Improv- Students will dig into the art of improvisation as they learn its' key principles. Actors will engage in a multitude of games and exercises culminating in a "Whose Line Is It Anyway" style presentation for parents.  This class is joy filled!

Acting- Students will focus on skills and disciplines needed to create rich, believable actors. Classes include group games, improvisation and memorized scene study.  Students learn to make choices, define and understand objectives and overcome obstacles as they are challenged to become successful storytellers.
