Act UP!
Ages 8-12 (3rd - 6th grade, exceptions may be discussed)
Creativity and fun are at the heart of our junior level program. Act Up! students explore the basics of acting through theater games, scene and character development, improv, and more. As students continue to build their acting skills, they also learn the basic theater terminology and rules for working on-stage and backstage.
Advanced students may also have the opportunity to develop their leadership abilities and writing and directing skills.
The semester will end with a Class Showcase performance.
Meets on most Mondays from 6:00pm-7:15pm. Semester price: $175
