You can’t do a play without teamwork! Students will gain hands-on experience in lights, sound, costume design, and stage management. And of course, there’s acting! Every student will study the fundamentals of Classical Acting. But come showtime, watch your child shine in their own unique artistic way either on stage, in the booth, or managing the behind-the-scenes action in a full-scale mini production. The final class is 45 minutes, plus a 15-minute performance.
