3 Reasons to You’ll Want to Enroll in Our Spring Classes!

Happy #FrontRowFriday! The snow is melting and we’re starting to see spring in the air! We’ve got 3 reasons you’ll want to enroll in our spring classes, running April 21- May 12 2018.

1 – Discover Your Passion!
All of our classes are taught by professional teaching artists, and lessons are designed to fit the skills and interests of the students enrolled. You may discover different stories you’ll love, styles of storytelling and even movement and music!

2 – Sharpen Your Theatre Skills!
For our youngest students, we emphasize the excitement of discovering the power of the imagination and how a story can be told on stage. We then move forward by helping students to focus on the creative process; what can they create as a team? As students progress, we ask them to make informed decisions to craft compelling scenes onstage. We refine techniques, help our students to build confidence as performers and people, and challenge them to practice thinking quickly and responding authentically.

3 – Make New Friends!
In theatre, not only will you learn about teamwork, you can also gain a new friend! Our Saturday classes are a great way to meet new people outside of your school or neighborhood and make new friendships! Invite your friends to join the class and make it double the fun!
