Youth Acting Program

Spring 2013 classes begin May 4

The second Spring session of our popular Youth Acting Program will run Saturday mornings for eight weeks beginning May 4 and run through June 22.

Youth Storyteller 
Kids ages 6-8 will work with Folk Tales from around the world to learn the basics of storytelling, character work, and physical theater.  This class emphasizes teamwork and imaginative play.  At the end of our eight-week session, parents are invited to an open class to watch their children work together to act out their tale.

Saturdays, 9:15am-10:15am
Eight weeks: $120

Youth Improv
Kids ages 9-12 will learn the basics of “creating something from nothing.”  In improv, there is no wrong answer.  Students will learn to think on their feet, respect each other’s ideas, and work together to create their own stories.  At the end of our eight-week session, parents are invited to an informal show where students will play a sampling of the games they learned in class.

Saturdays, 10:30am-12:00pm
Eight weeks: $160
