When children learn the craft of acting they cultivate self-expression, creativity, and joy! They gain lasting friendships, confidence in their new-found skills and the ability to make a positive impact in our world.
Improv Classes
Yes...And! In these dynamic improv classes, students learn the tools to think on their feet, listen and respond with wit, and be creative in the moment. Kids get practice being spontaneous, collaborative and hilarious while making something they can be proud of.
Self-expression and artistry are the name of the game in our Make a Musical program.
Kids work in-depth on a specific show and use its plot as a springboard for their own mini-plays. Through improvisation and creative movement they flex their imaginative muscles. We then layer on theater technique: students learn the basics of vocal warm-ups, character development, singing and choreography from our expert teachers.
The unique blend of play and performance is realized in a final sharing for friends and family. Students get to showcase their abilities as young storytellers, singers and dancers!
Our middle school ensemble works on complex material and relishes a challenge. From Greek Myths to Shakespearean Histories to classics of American Theater, we love a great play. Students inspire each other and do work that is brave, specific and nuanced.
Improvisation and theater games help stoke creativity, create an ensemble and develop the spirit of play as students rehearse a complete piece of theater in the semester. A great session for kids to increase confidence, craft, and their ability to work as part of an ensemble.
Kids learn how to create a character from a place of instinct and play. They also amass skills in singing, dance, speech, and improvisation taught by master teachers and performers at the top of their field.
Our curriculum supports vital social-emotional well-being as kids experience playing in-person. Groups are capped and games are socially-distant while still being engaging, physical and artistic.
We work to support children through a range of experiences, prioritizing peer-connection, gross-motor release and empowering new skills. Play/work takes place outdoors.
Customize your own class for your child and their friends.
These ensembles develop original stories and rehearse scripted scenes. We build a company of skilled performers; centering bravery, imagination and truthfulness. Improvisation and theater games help stoke creativity, develop the company and the spirit of play.
Classes culminate in a scene showcase for families.
Young people become confident with Shakespeare’s world, language and characters as they learn how to interpret a role with technique and courage through an abridged version of Shakespeare's plays. Classically trained professional actors assist the players in their physical, vocal and emotional transformations. The final performance is a thrilling theatrical event.
Children explore story-telling, song and creative movement in classes for the youngest of thespians.
Using their bodies, voices and minds, students re-interpret classic and contemporary children’s literature and are inspired to create their own adventures.
Connections are made to literature and the world around them. Classes encourage creative expression and confidence. They are led by expert theater artists with early childhood education experience who are skilled at centering kids’ imaginative adventures.
