Acting and Improv – Middle School – Tuesdays 6 to 7 pm – Winter 2026
Acting & Improv – Middle School
In this lively, laughter-filled class, students will develop their toolbox of techniques for acting both in improvisational and scripted scenes, for stage and screen. Theatre games and improv will form the basis for exploring the fundamentals of acting, from using the imagination to connecting with scene partners, listening, focusing, and being fully in the moment. Students will explore scene work as the class progresses. Parents are welcome to observe the final class.
