Manchester, NH —The Acting Loft is pleased to announce its 2008 line-up of fall classes. The Acting Loft has always strived to offer high quality classes at an affordable rate. This fall, in addition to the usual fare, the Acting Loft is thrilled to announce some brand new classes that not only expand their education department, but also invite a wider age range to come and learn at the Loft.
For the littlest actors, aged 3-5, there is the brand new "Storybook on Stage" class, which is a drama class and dance class all rolled into one. Each week a new read-aloud book will be featured and explored through drama and dance exercises.
It is an exciting semester for teens at the Acting Loft. The brand new teen classes promise to challenge and excite! These classes include: "Directing Lab", "Young Playwrights", and "TV and Film Acting"—just to name a few.
Adult classes have also been updated. New Adult classes include: "It's Never too Late to Learn to Dance": a dance class especially designed for students aged 30 and up; "Hark! The Herald": a long form improvisation class led by Boston Improv Alum, Larry Pizza, and "Drama in the Classroom": a class designed to help teachers incorporate drama in their lesson planning.
There will be an Open House on Thursday, August 28th from 6:00-8:00pm at 516 Pine Street in Manchester. The teachers will be present to answer any questions you might have, and you will be able to see our brand new classroom renovations!
"It was my goal to offer classes that would be exclusive to the Acting Loft," says Kirstin Kennedy, the Director of Education, "It is important to me that our classes not only challenge the students who take them, but the instructors as well. Education is on-going and the last thing we want at the Acting Loft is teachers who aren't feeling challenged and excited by the classes they are teaching. I am confident that this will be a highly successful semester!"
