theatre program where youth will focus on building the actor's foundational
skills for performance. These skills include developing the voice, body, and
imagination. Actors will also build skill and experience in taking direction,
auditioning in a professional setting, working as a team, and having confidence
speaking in front of an audience. The youth will engage in activities to hone
these skills and apply them to scene work. This fall session culminates in an in-person
showcase for our friends and family. CAN Academy performing arts activities
improve academic skills, instill empathy and responsibility, build character,
and enhance creative thinking.<span></span></span></p>
