Calling all young performers! Whether you love to act, dance, sing or just have a big imagination, acting is the foundation of artistic expression and a powerful life skill. This class is all about playing, pretending, and having fun while learning the basics of acting. Through theatre games, ensemble work, monologues, and even a little Shakespeare (don’t worry, we make it fun!), students will explore characters, find their voices, and use their bodies to tell exciting stories. Along the way, they’ll build confidence, creativity, and make new friends in a supportive and encouraging space. Whether students are brand new to acting or already have some experience, this class meets them where they are. Beginners will build a strong foundation while challenging more experienced performers to grow, take creative risks, and expand their acting toolbox.
