Learn short and long form improv comedy using games, exercises and story development skills. Class designed for ages 7-10 and 11-15.

Acting
Our instructors take students through several elements of smart, creative performance. Over the course of the session, students will have the opportunity to explore improvisational comedy, Shakespeare studies, working from a script and developing characters from their own imaginative ideas. In addition, students will be given the opportunity to bring their favorite characters and story-lines to life by writing their own short sketches and performing them as a showcase at the end of the class. Class designed for ages 5-6, 7-10 and 11-15.

Musical Theater
This class has many of the same elements as the acting and improv classes, but also includes song and dance training geared towards musical theater performance. Class designed for ages 5-6, 7-10 and 11-15.
