Wednesday: Take a Bow- Acting [8-12]

 Are you interested in becoming more well-spoken and confident? In this class, actors will develop basic acting skills and more, including learning how to work as a group, improvise, follow directions, create characters, and tell compelling stories. Students will acquire theater skills through games and activities that promote focus, communication and listening. Come join us and find out what kind of character you are! Join us on the last day of class for a performance! New and continuing students welcome! *This class is a part of our Certificate in Fine Arts Program and will give each student one point towards their CiFA certification.
