Act Out Loud
Students experience the joy of connecting with themselves and others in this 6 or 12 session residency. It’s all about acting, storytelling and developing stage presence — whether your students are already hungry for the spotlight or hesitant to step into it. In a warm and supportive environment, students will explore monologues, improvisation, scenework and memorization, all while collaborating with their classmates.

Musical Theater FUNdamentals
Students will be immersed in the foundations of song, dance and high drama in this high-energy 6 or 12 week residency. In a collaborative ensemble environment, they’ll be introduced to musical theater history, the basics of learning and performing choreography, foundational vocal techniques for speaking and singing and, of course, acting up into their “best selves.”

Playwriting
In this residency, students will learn the essential elements of dramatic writing through improvisation, text analyses, scene creation and performance. In the 12-session model Playwrighting will culminate in students writing and performing a reading of the plays they create during this class.
