To register, visit us at www.TaleSpinnerCle.org/Classes Our Classes this semester are: *Masks & Puppet Creature Creation (4-7 years old)* Do you have a young one at home who loves to create? Are they constantly taking things around the home and transforming them into something fantastical to play with? Someone who has an infinite imagination and just wants to build that idea? Masks & Puppet Creature Creation is designed for those young engineers, as in this class we will be creating a monster character with masks and puppets. These little scientists will also be bringing these monsters to life with movements and the 5 tools of acting.

With featured roles and ensemble parts new and experienced performers alike are certain to find a place in Stuart Little. This is the endearing classic about a mouse named Stuart Little who is born into an ordinary New York family. All the charm, wisdom and joy of the E.B. White original are captured in this adaptation by Joseph Robinette and the many adventures—both big and small—of Stuart Little are brought vividly to life. The acting ensemble plays many human and animal roles in a series of delightful scenes that make up the marvelous maneuverings of a mild-mannered mouse trying to survive in a "real people's world." *DnDnD (8-12 years old, 13-17 years old)* Dungeons and Dragons and Drama…oh my!
