Winter 2016-2017 Class Information
For all drama classes with kids ages 8+, the first class will be an informal audition, with part assignments emailed within approximately 24-48 hours to those enrolled. Audition info will be emailed to those enrolled, but will primarily consist of a recitation of a 1-minute monologue, some readings from the script (for younger kids, if they are not comfortable reading aloud for the audition, no worries - I'll have some easier options), and a few other activities. Personal preference is also always taken into consideration!
Drama Classes for Boys and Girls - ages 3-7
Note: Rising Stars and Little Stars will NOT be participating in the winter 2017 performance day. Performance opportunities will return in the spring semester.

January 2 - February 20
Class will be held on MLK Jr. Day and President's Day
Performance: No performance option this winter. Opportunities will return for spring 2017.
Little Stars gives the youngest wannabe actors and actresses alike the chance to have a running start at performing! Through dramatic play, we will explore worlds of creativity and imagination, create characters, basics of stage movement, projecting voices, and much more. There will be a mix of games, music, movement, and speaking. Minimum 5 students to have the class.
Storybook Theatre's Rising Stars - ages 5-7
Monday 5:00-5:45pm

Rising Stars builds upon the skills and experience learned in Little Stars class, or introduces new students to all the fun that theatre can be. Utilizing dramatic play, improvisation games, and short scripts (no real lines to learn - just repetition), kids will learn about creating a stage presence and using their whole body to show emotion. Minimum 5 students to have the class.
