Storybook Theater

Each week, the class begins with a dramatic reading of a beloved children’s book—Where the Wild Things Are, The Gruffalo, or The Rainbow Fish. Then the children get the chance to bring the story to life by acting out the roles.
Storybook Theater isn’t about perfect performances—it’s about confidence, cooperation, and creativity. Kids learn to listen, share ideas, express themselves, and most importantly, to believe in their own voices. Ages 5-7
Intro to Acting Class: "Lights, Camera, Confidence!"

This Intro to Acting class is designed for young performers, from curious beginners to budding stars. Whether your child dreams of being on stage, in front of a camera, or simply wants to build confidence and communication skills, this class offers a fun, supportive place to start. Ages 8-12
