Take to the Stage!
A class taking basic beginning skills and expanding to intermediate.
In this class we take the basic beginning level skills and raise the bar. Students will now learn how to develop a character by using their script and the other characters around them. While working on a short production, students will gain the tools and confidence they need to explore the next step in character development.

“IMPROV” Yourself
A helpful skill for all young actors to learn.
Ever wanted to take a class that was nothing but games? Well now you can! During this class students will be exploring the art of improv. Learn how to think on your feet, increase stage presence and reaction, and also the importance of teamwork on stage. Improv is a valuable tool for actors to practice their skills and it's fun too! We will have a showcase on the last day of class.

The Mini Players
An advanced performance class for students who are ready for a bit more commitment.
This enchanting class is for students who have some experience in theatre, and have a basic understanding of the terms and skills that go into theatre arts. We incorporate games and theater lessons that relate to the production they are rehearsing, to help better understand their characters and movements on stage and to enhance their performance. This class runs a full semester to give students time to learn what it takes to put on a more professional show with a final performance open to the public to purchase tickets. Each semester we challenge the students with either a stage acting based class or a musical theatre based class.

The Tween Players

This class is the next step up from our Mini Players. Students will be able to take their basic knowledge of theatre skills and use them in the next level. They will learn how to analyze their characters and how to connect with each other more on stage by using “beats” and “intentions”. This class runs a full semester which allows us to really work one on one with each student to reach their individual goals. At the end of the semester there will be a full production of the show and it’s open to the public to purchase tickets. Each semester we challenge the students with either a stage acting based class or a musical theatre based class.

An advanced performance class for high school students.
Is your student ready for something more advanced? Do they love theatre and just can’t get enough of it? Then this exciting class is just what they need. Designed to engage your student in a more professional style production, this class challenges students to take a close look on how to develop a character throughout the rehearsal process. We teach students how to “rip” apart their scripts inside and out, fully commit to a character from beginning to end, and learn the importance of working as an ensemble to create and produce their own show. This class is a full semester and will be given two performances open for the public to purchase tickets.
