Introduction to Acting

Youth Programs / Drama -
School Year 25-26

Have fun in this introductory acting class as we explore theater basics such as using the actor’s toolbox (voice, movement, and imagination), presenting scenes, performing commercials, working on stagecraft projects, playing theater games and more. 

Other notes:

  • No previous acting experience is needed. 
  • Use improvisation techniques
  • Bring a character to life 
  • Make a connection to the audience
  • Collaborate with others
  • Experiment by using your creativity

This class will allow the participants to build self-esteem and confidence while interacting with others in a fun setting.
