Join us for an acting adventure! Our class will work together to create characters and bring them to life in our very own play. Each week, we will create a new scene for our play that will be performed on the last day of class. Students will learn the fundamentals of theatre by participating in the entire creative process. Students will learn acting techniques, explore creative theater games and work as an ensemble to create a play. Everyone will have a chance to be actors, playwrights, musicians, and designers! Students will work together to develop their characters, the plot and self-author their lines for our show.

**Showtime is 5:30 on the last day of class! Please note that this class will hold a snow date of 2/10, 4-6 PM in order to make up for any potential lost rehearsal time.
