Youth Acting for the Stage - Ages 12-18yrs

WEDNESDAYS, MARCH 12 - JUNE 4, 2024

Time: 4:30 PM - 6 PM

Ages: 12 - 18yrs

Prerequisite: None. This is an ongoing class for current students and a mandatory class for any student new to CASA 0101, regardless of previous experience.

Given the overwhelming demand, attendance for this program is mandatory, and students are kindly requested not to miss more than 2 classes. Please only register if you are sure you will be able to attend all classes.

Class Description: We will create stories incorporating movement, dance, music and life experiences by building trust through theater games and exploration of the power of our voices. Everyone’s story is of value. Let’s have fun!

A final showcase performance will take place during the last class.

At the end of this class, students who are in good standing and have met the requirements will be invited to join our Musical Theater program on Saturdays, if space is available.
