Young artists will discover the transformative power of their own voices and bodies in an action-driven world of their own making. Students will build foundational performance skills through movement, voice, and improvisation exercises, while learning the fundamentals of script development and story arc alongside a working theatre professional. Together, they’ll create a treasure map, and use it to devise a story that takes them on a wild journey from the bottom of the ocean to the distant shores of their imaginations.

Eight Saturdays, September 28–November 16
Final Sharing: November 16 at 1pm
11:45am–1:45pm

Dive into the wonderful world of improv, where the only limit is your imagination. Students will learn to think on their feet to create both short and long-form stories. Through skill-building games and ensemble exercises they will practice working as a team, overcoming stage fright and mastering the art of public speaking as they learn to create on the fly. Discover the potential of a “Yes-And” mindset and learn to find humor in even the most unexpected of places.

Friends and family are invited to join us for a final sharing on 11/16 at 1pm.
