Taught by local theater professionals, the classes give students the opportunity to develop and expand their performance skills, including character development, stage movement, and vocal projection.

The classes also will cover production skills such as costuming, set design and construction.

An improv and scene study class is planned beginning in January. Tuition is $279. The dates and times of classes are to be determined.
