Get ready to giggle and goof onstage! In this seriously funny acting lab, students will explore silly characters and comedy skits inspired by the golden age of vaudeville. Through games, improv, and sketch-style scenes, our budding class clowns will build confidence, timing, and teamwork—all while having an unforgettable time.
Students will perform in an original Conservatory showcase, Make ‘em Laugh on 12/13 from 12-1 pm (featuring scenes and songs from our Acting and Musical Theatre classes).
*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.
Double the Fun, One Easy Drop-Off!
Combine with the Youth Musical Theatre (from 10:00 am-11:20 am) and stay at NCTC from 10 am-1 pm. Our Saturday Conservatory acting and musical theatre classes are designed to complement each other, giving students a deeper, more well-rounded training experience. Enroll in both and your child will enjoy three full hours of creative learning—all with just one drop-off and pick-up. It’s the perfect way to build skills, confidence, and stage presence in one exciting morning!
