Kids and Teen Acting Classes After school or on Saturdays, Jan 12 – Mar 20, 2010 Tuition $260 per 10-week session with sibling discounts Children may enter the program anytime, from 3rd through 12th grade, with beginning classes available for all ages. Students advance at their own rate through three levels of training, and serious actors may audition for the Junior and Teen Players ensembles, which perform original productions in the Nicholas Studio each spring.
Whatever their level, children study within their peer groups. Kids (3rd through 6th grade) are introduced to the world of theatre through creative dramatics and acting experiences, with emphasis on development of self-esteem, confidence and personal expression. The Teen program (7th through 12th grade) emphasizes personal and creative expression through exploration of the dramatic arts. All sessions conclude with in-class demonstrations for parents.
