As newcomers to vocal technique, students in this class learn the basics of posture, breathing, range, and proper tonal production in a group setting.

Advanced Voice, all ages†7pm-8pm Wednesday

The advanced voice student has an understanding of proper tonal production, posture, and breathing. We will work hands on to press the vocal limits of the student's abilities in a group setting while also offering encouragement and critique to fellow classmates.

Acting

In this class, students get a more in-depth study of acting. Together, they will research and perform monologues and scenes for the rest of the class and receive critiquing from instructors on how to delve more deeply into their characters.

Adventures in Theatre, ages 6-114pm-5pm Monday & 11am-12pm Thursday

Improv, all ages6pm-7pm Tuesday

Step into advanced work as we break every convention we know of and create some new ones along the way.

Most of the class is about unlocking you to a point where you are milking the fun in each and every moment on stage and off. WARNING: Hilarity will ensue.
