In this explorative theatre course, we will use our bodies, voices, and imaginations to become characters, adventure through some of our favorite stories, and overcome obstacles (both real and fictitious!) together as an ensemble! This class serves to introduce the fundamental elements of theatre - imagination, ensemble, character building, story mapping, and creative problem solving - in a friendly and welcoming environment. Let’s step into the magic of theatre! 

This class meets in person at TBA in the Upper Studio Saturdays 9:00am-9:55am
