Choose Your Theater Adventure
5th & 6th grades
Tuesdays from 4 to 5:30 PM, March 26 to April 30, 2024
This brand-new class invites you on a theatrical adventure—where the choices the audience and participants make determine how the play unfolds and not every path leads to a “Happily Ever After.” Students will perform the final play as a staged reading, allowing them to focus on acting techniques. Space is limited to 10 kids. Teacher: Michelle Blanchard. Cost $95
