This seven-week class is on Wednesdays: April 9, 16, 23, 30, May 7, 14, and 21. Each session is 2 hours. The last class includes a performance for friends and family.
In this dynamic class, come together to create original theater pieces from scratch! Through fun, collaborative exercises, artists will explore their own stories and ideas, turning them into unique performances.
This class is all about expression, connection, and building confidence, as each artist contributes to the creation of the play. Together, we’ll work through movement, voice, and storytelling techniques to craft a show that reflects the experiences and creativity of everyone involved. This class is the perfect space to have fun, connect with others, and express yourself through the power of theater.
