Spring Acting Studio registration is now open. Children in grades K-12 can participate in one of two engaging camps for young actors.

For Grades K-3rd — DRAMAQUEST CAMP. The students’ imaginations provide the script in this class that challenges and excites young children as they learn theatrical terms, play games that reinforce important skills and work together to tell a compelling story. Students will learn about the three tools in an actor’s toolbox: imagination, voice and body. They’ll also experience the wonder of theatre as a team activity as they work together in an environment where empathy and respect are highly valued.

From auditioning and rehearsing to preparing for a final performance, students will have a great time working together and developing their acting skills. Get ready for an action-packed, fast-paced theatre adventure as students come together to memorize lines, learn stage blocking and go through tech rehearsals just like the professionals. Students will be amazed at what they have accomplished when it all comes together in front of an audience.
