PRODUCTION CLASS
FALL 2023

Production Class (Grades 5-8)
Students will write, rehearse and perform a show they create. This program helps young artists develop skills that will last a lifetime and explore the art of collaboration through classes in acting, playwriting, improvisation, stagecraft, and production. Life skills such as public speaking confidence and working as a team are woven into each activity. Students will be responsible for all aspects of the production process including sets, costumes, lighting, sound, and prop design. Students will be expected to see the project through from beginning to end as one of the goals of the program.
UPCOMING PUBLIC PERFORMANCES
