This introductory class, designed for our younger actors, explores the most basic elements of acting, music, movement and creative expression. Through simple theater games, puppetry, story acting (i.e. The Three Little Pigs, etc.) speech/diction exercises, and stage movement, students will develop age appropriate acting and social skills. Students will also use music to boost imagination through singing, learn sound recognition games, and play with basic instruments to learn rhythm, simple sound effects, and working to create a “symphony” of sound in theater. Classes will often have themes to help enhance learning, and activities may include crafting of props, puppets, masks, costumes, or instruments. Parents and guardians are always welcome to participate in this class, especially to help a new or shy child feel comfortable during activities.

This class is held in a 12-week semester and does not culminate in a formal performance.

CLASS FEE: $165 (Includes materials cost for theme weeks)
