Let’s get movin’!
In this one-hour class that meets once a week for 8 weeks, our youngest students will discover the magic of storytelling by using their ‘instruments’ – body and voice – for creative, dramatic self-expression. Our updated curriculum includes basic movement and dance technique that will challenge these young students in a fun and interactive setting.

Create! Challenge! Become!
This introductory acting class for elementary school children encourages them to think creatively and challenge themselves as they examine the various aspects of performing. Incorporating improvisation, terminology and some basic script development, students use their voice, body and mind to pursue goals, create characters and scenes, and work as an ensemble. This class meets for an hour and a half, once a week for 8 weeks.

Keep building! Work together!
Building on already learned skills, this class for more experienced young performers puts those skills to work in a challenging environment where teamwork is integral. Students will be taught advanced exercises that serve to develop voice and movement techniques while also working on intermediate-level script development and character analysis. In addition, student interaction is given priority providing for a more enriching classroom experience. This class meets for an hour and a half, once a week for 8 weeks.
