Monday: Acting II - Furthering Your Craft [Ages 8-14]

What does it mean to be an actor?  In this class, students will discover and develop a more fully realized vision of what it is to perform on stage and under the lights, usually working from a published text. The class could include scene work, monologues, writing, and more. Each session will be different, so students may take these classes over and over. Prerequisite: Acting I or special permission.
