Acting Troupe §
Expand your dramatic skills and focus on working collaboratively to bring the scene from page to stage! This class covers some basic acting skills including creating the physicality of a character, pantomime, vocal variation, projection, diction, stage directions and terms, audition preparation and execution, comedic timing and improvisation. We will put these skills into practice using monologues, scene work and drama games. This class is also great for building personal confidence, developing physical coordination and furthering cooperative skills of working with and trusting others.
This class is encouraged to audition for our winter play. This class will perform in Fall Showcase and Actor's Spotlight.
