Act Out Loud
Students experience the joy of connecting with themselves and others in this 6 or 12 session residency. It’s all about acting, storytelling and developing stage presence — whether your students are already hungry for the spotlight or hesitant to step into it. In a warm and supportive environment, students will explore monologues, improvisation, scenework and memorization, all while collaborating with their classmates.

Musical Theater FUNdamentals
Students will be immersed in the foundations of song, dance and high drama in this high-energy 6 or 12 week residency. In a collaborative ensemble environment, they’ll be introduced to musical theater history, the basics of learning and performing choreography, foundational vocal techniques for speaking and singing and, of course, acting up into their “best selves.”

Playwriting
In this residency, students will learn the foundations of dramatic storytelling and gain a better understanding of what “makes” a play. Students will learn how discretion and indirection builds conflict, how to write compelling dialogue and how to create complex characters. The session will end with a short scene or play of their own.
