    Come and play pretend with us! In this introductory class to theater, our youngest students are encouraged to play make-believe while using their imaginations to explore different elements of theater like scenery, how to become different characters, and how to use their bodies, voices, and brains to transport themselves to different and exciting places! They will also use learning tools to explore their feelings and learn how to navigate them in a healthy and fun way. All you need is your imagination!

    Come and improvise with us this summer! This online course teaches students about theater using tools like improvisation, character work, and scene building. Students will have the chance to create characters, explore different points of view, share their ideas, and learn about others and themselves through various acting and writing exercises. They will also be taught different breathing exercises to warm up the body, calm the mind, and find connection to themselves and the outside world. Theater is a great way to see where and how we fit in with the world around us -- join us for creation and conversation as we explore this together!
