What do you find if you come take a class? Warm-ups, improv games, creating a character, learning a song -- making up a song! -- trying on costumes, working with props, learning teamwork and fun, and PAINTING SETS! This summer, we started a "set painting" segment of our classes, with super results! For "Fun Friday" kids also work with scripts, and we'll be bringing in Shakespeare and contemporary authors in the fall.

We'll have an "open house" at the end, so that parents and family can see the work. No prior theatre experience necessary -- if you like stories, laughter, making up characters, inventing raps and rhymes, please join us!
