We’ll learn some grounding and focusing exercises and some fun theater games too, to help us with character development and theatrical expression. Students will learn lines and how to follow stage directions. This class promotes communication, collaboration, self-confidence and creativity.

My child has no theater experience; which class would you recommend?
All classes are open to all levels, from the beginner to the more seasoned actor.
What is the class size?
Classes will be limited to 8-10 students in order to give students a full, nurturing environment.
