Theatre Classes

Theatre classes serve as a foundational exploration into the world of theater arts. Students will learn about the history of theater, the roles and responsibilities of various theater professionals. Through practical exercises, you will develop basic acting techniques, gain an understanding of stagecraft, and explore the nuances of character development. These classes typically culminate in scene work or short performances that apply learned concepts.​
