Do you have a budding actor in the family? Turn your child’s love of make-believe play into a passion for the arts. Through theater games, improvisation, performing fairy tales and performing children’s books, your budding actor will explore her creative side, build confidence, and develop spontaneity – while enhancing social and motor skills. Students learn and practice skills such as listening, sharing the stage, hitting a mark, enunciation, voice projection and creating a character.

This class runs on Tuesdays, February 21 – April 4 (No Class 3/28), 4:00pm – 5:30pm

Ages: 5 – 8 Years Old
