Youth classes and workshops begin Saturday, February 17 and run through April 7, 2018. (8 weeks) During some classes/workshops, parents are invited to observe a portion of the class or enjoy a brief “performance” at some point. Teachers will give additional details closer to the final day.

Our classes this year include:

STARDUST

4-7 year olds
Saturdays, February 17— April 7
9:30 a.m.— 10:30 a.m.

Here’s a fun way for your youngest students to get their start in theatre! This non-stressful approach to basic acting, singing, and movement will teach your littlest stars to twinkle! Students will work on imagination, memorization and teamwork, as well as the technical basics of putting on a show.

SHAKESPEARE SHAKE-UP & STAGE COMBAT

10-18 year olds
Saturdays, February 17— April 7
10:30 a.m.— 12:00 p.m.

Swordplay, wordplay, and a lot of fun—all the ingredients for a total Shakespeare Shake-Up! In this introduction to the life and works of the master himself, students will get a glimpse into the days of William Shakespeare and his influence on theatre today. Students will interpret text, act out words and learn the basics of safe and realistic stage combat in an imaginative, non-intimidating way! Students will learn: how to punch, slap, choke, kick, fall, tumble, sword fight and most importantly, how to sell the reaction. Students will also learn the basics of swordplay (correct stance, advancement, and more!). Safety guidelines will be emphasized, with parent permission slips. Previous acting experience strongly recommended.
