ACTING UP!

An After School Drama Program for grades 3 - 8.

Theatre is an outlet for children to express themselves in a respectful and supportive environment. It allows them to learn vital communication skills as well as develop their imaginations and creativity. In the ACTING UP! program, students will learn the fundamentals of theatre, how to project their voices, and performance etiquette. Students with more experience will build on their acting and improvisation skills. All students will work as a team while growing their confidence. At the end of the session, students will have the opportunity to perform in front of their most supportive audience - their parents and friends.
