Class Descriptions:
Creative Play - 4-6 year olds. Pre-schoolers get to exercise their thirst for dramatic play. We use the principles of Improv to teach basic stagecraft, story telling, team work, comedy and dramatic rythym. And we have a whole lot of fun!
Play and Improv - 7-9 year olds. The kids will have a blast learning the fundamentals of Improv, stage craft, storytelling and teamwork. Every week we will learn new games that teach while having a great time.
