Classes are held on Saturdays for eight-week sessions and are broken down in appropriate age groups and scheduled as follows: September 17th - November 12th (no classes October 15th) Pre-School (ages 3-5) Saturdays 10-11am Kids (ages 6-10) & Early Teens (ages 11-14) Saturdays 10am-noon Through puppets, music, movement, improvisation, story-telling and acting, students develop communication skills, teamwork, confidence, and creative expression. Each session culminates with a student-created presentation for family and friends that gives kids a taste of what goes into producing and performing a show. Our in-house classes are on a set schedule, but our outreach programs tailor to the needs of the classroom, families, and family services. TCT comes to you, and will work with you on the scheduling and special content that best suits the needs of the children and community it serves. *Why Choose TCT for Theatre Arts Education?* TCT uses professional artist/educators working in their dedicated fields to teach every class, residency, and workshop. Each artist/educator has been trained to carry out TCT's educational offerings to the fullest, and to ensure that every child involved in its programming is noticed, encouraged to participate, and supported. TCT's artist/educators provide children with the tools to grow and bloom not only artistically, but with the confidence and new awareness that involvement in the arts brings. http://talespinnerchildrenstheatre.org/education/ Do you have more than one child interested in TCT summer classes?
