Theatre Class: Ages 12 & up

     This theatre class is focused on producing a complete play. These students have some experience in stage acting and will be learning more refined techniques. The work load is also more intense as they learn their lines for the productions throughout the year: one small production for Christmas, and a larger production for our Spring Showcase (May 1, 2021).

​

Creative Writing: Ages 13 & up

     The aim of this class is to teach long form writing including concepts such as organizing and outlining, character development, establishing and building a world for the story, and honing the ability to create larger works. The objective is for each student to understand and enjoy putting together a complex work of writing and gaining tools to improve general writing in the future. 

Musical Theatre: Ages 6 & up 

     Students will learn elements of musical theatre including acting, choral music, and choreography. This class will produce two plays during the 2020-21 school year (Christmas & Spring Showcase).
