Our popular Storybook on Stage class returns this spring with a new set of storybooks to explore, including works by Mo Willems, Maurice Sendak and other popular read-aloud authors. This class is led by a Dance Instructor, who leads students through warm ups and a simple routine, and a Drama Instructor, who engages students in creative dramatic activities; and by the end of class, it is time for a performance for parents! This class is a great way to get your youngest involved in the theatre. This class is for ages 3-5, and takes place on Saturday mornings from 10-11:15. We have added another Saturday class this spring; our Fairy Tale Theatre class is for ages 6-10 and explores well known fairy tales through dramatic play, arts and crafts, and music. This class runs from 11:30-1:00. Both of our Saturday classes are available for the drop-in rate of $25 with seven days notice, or $215 for all twelve weeks.
We are offering a brand new set of adult acting classes, The Complete Actor 1 & 2. Each of these classes is broken down into three four week sessions, with each session focusing on a specific topic that will help you achieve your goal of perfecting your craft. The sessions can be taken individually for $140/session or $315 for all three sessions. More experienced actors can pick sessions from Complete Actor 1 & 2 to create their own course of study, whereas it is recommended that beginning actors complete the full Complete Actor 1 course before moving on to any of our Complete Actor 2 sessions. This spring, The Complete Actor 1 course includes the following sessions: Technique, Movement and Stage Combat and our Complete Actor 2 course includes: Script Analysis, Scene Study Style: Farce and Solo Performance and the Art of the Monologue.
