Acting Productions
Our Acting Productions offer our students an empowering opportunity to put their Acting Techniques to work in a large stage production. Once enrolled, actors are guaranteed a role. Auditions are held to determine the part in which each actor will be the most successful. For 12 weeks (a total of 24 hours of instruction), actors rehearse a full play before performing on a local stage for a larger audience.
We continue to take a holistic approach to acting in our rehearsals, creating characters through Movement, Relationships, Vocal Work and Analysis. We also continue to strengthen life skills such as Public Speaking by performing in front of a larger audience, Non-Verbal Communication by moving in ways that depict how the characters feel, Relational Intelligence by learning to respond to other characters, Team Work by participating in Ensemble-Building exercises and Aspirational Thinking and Goal Setting by having set goals and due dates for a polished performance. Once the curtain falls after the performance and the actors are met with the thunderous applause from their family and friends, they experience an unmistakable increase in both Confidence and Self-Esteem. There really is nothing quite like it!
Schedule of Fall Productions
Get ready for our September launch of "Ho Ho Ho! The Santa Clause Chronicles" (ages 7 to 17)!
We join the host for a special live edition of “The Santa Claus Chronicles” at the North Pole just a few days before Christmas. We start with a press conference where Saint Nick’s press secretary answers reporters’ questions about the jolly guy. What’s his favorite food? How does he know who’s naughty and nice? We also meet the elves, Eeny, Meeny, Miney, and Sol, who take care of the reindeer, and we hear from the elves who work the gift suggestion hotline. But the biggest mystery at the North Pole is where Mrs.Claus has disappeared to. Just what is she up to? Find out in a surprising ending that will leave a smile on everyone’s face.
