This class gives a great foundation in what it’s like to be a part of a play or a musical theatre production. Not only are there director notes, a script to memorize, maybe some improv, where to stand, the traffic of an ensemble cast of people and space to deal with- what happens when the tech isn’t right or the props aren’t there? Preparing students for the real deal is fun by giving them scenarios and actual practice to be ready for prime time live shows!
*NEW!* Fridays, 6:00-7:00pm, Instr. Blackbird Pierre (ages 8-12) 12 weeks beginning the week of March 9 through the end of May

From Meisner to Stanislovski, from Greek Tragedies, Shakespeare, Commedia dell'Arte and more, this class is an exciting, interactive jump into classical theatre foundations from around the globe. Students will have the opportunity to explore and practice a variety of classical theatre techniques and styles as they stretch their knowledge of what theatre has been to what it COULD be!

OTHER THEATRE CLASSES (AGES 7-99)
*NEW* Audition Empowerment:
Have an audition that you're prepping for? Is there a piece that you've always wanted to try, but would prefer some feedback and coaching before giving it a go? Then this class is for you! Whether the focus is on a monologue or a song, each student will have the opportunity to practice in front of their peers and receive coaching and constructive feedback that the group can learn from as a whole. This class is ALL about support and hopefully relieving some of those audition "jitters" so that students can walk into a casting room with confidence and practice!
