Bring Your Favorite Person to Life!
In this engaging class students will use theatre games and activities to help them bring a character to life...someone from the past, present, or future! They'll explore different ways of walking and talking as they create a monologue to present to an audience of adoring fans (parents) at the final class!
 
For children who LOVE a certain person from history, a character from their favorite story, or maybe they have an idea for a new invention and they'd like to be the researcher or scientist who discovers it, this class will encourage their creative thinking and collaboration skills as we work together to put together a presentation at the final class. To register, please click here.
 
Ages 8-12
Fridays 8am - 9am
April 17 - May 15
$120 (5 classes)
 
We are asking for a parent volunteer to be present at the beginning of each class session. Their responsibilities would include making sure the space was ready for the instructors, helping to check in students and take attendance for our records, and troubleshooting any issues that might arise.
