ACTING AND IMPROVISATION CLASSES
Beginning Acting/Improvisation (K-3)
Students will learn basic stage terminology, body language, and breathing techniques. We will
use scripts (but non-readers are welcome!), and learn about improvisation. When not
performing, students will learn the art of positive critique.
Intermediate Acting/Improvisation (4-7)
Students will build upon previously learned skills. Students will work from published scenes,
improvisational scenarios, and monologues. More advanced techniques will be introduced.
Advanced Acting/improvisation (8-12)
Students will build upon previously learned skills to perform scenes, monologues, and create
original scenes. Students will hone their skills, while learning advanced critiquing. Audition
techniques will also be taught.
***Have an audition coming up? You can “Pay As You Play!” This means you can come
for one class, and we’ll help you work on your material. Of course, you can always come
back for more.*** (This applies to Advanced Acting only!)
MUSICAL THEATRE
Musical Theatre (K-3)
This class will cover the classic musical theatre repertoire (Disney musicals, Annie, The Sound
of Music, etc.), with acting and movement. Students will learn how to put together a musical,
from auditions to performances. We will work with live music, performing an original script.
Musical Theatre (4-7)
This class will run the gamut, from classics to contemporary (Matilda, Hairspray, Legally Blonde,
Wicked, etc.). Students will learn more about blocking, movement and using props, costumes
and set pieces. We will work with live music, performing an original script.
Contemporary Musical Theatre (8-12)
This class will concentrate on the more modern musicals (Dear Evan Hanson, Hamilton, Mean
Girls, The Outsiders, Six, etc.). Students will build on previously learned skills, and focus more
on character development, and telling a story through song. We will work with live music,
performing an original script.
