COURSE DESCRIPTION:  This class is designed for young / preteen actors who are ready for a performance challenge!  Classes focus on storytelling, character creation, performance terms/techniques and ensemble building.  Each semester will work on a different play, adapted just for this class, where we'll learn about theatre and the history/background of the story.  Students should expect some homework - including memorization - through the semester.  The majority of the semester will focus on the process of putting up a play - complete with costumes, staging and often music / dancing and sometimes even stage combat! Family and friends are welcome to join us, on the last day of class, for a final showing!
