Take the spotlight and bring a story to life! In this dynamic, hands-on acting class, teen performers will collaborate on a 20-minute mini-play—complete with costume pieces, props, and a final performance on a professional stage for family and friends. Students will dive deep into character development, sharpen their script and memorization skills, and discover what it really takes to build a performance from the ground up. Along the way, you’ll learn how to take direction, support your ensemble, and experience the thrill of creating theatre as a team. (Play title is TBD)

*Please be sure you can commit to the schedule and especially the final two classes (dress rehearsal & showcase day), and communicate any conflicts before registering. Unapproved absences may result in removal from some or all performance pieces--the show must go on, after all.
