Spring Acting Discoveries

Overview

Join us for our early childhood Acting Discoveries program! Through creative play, crafts, stories and theater games, students will learn acting fundamentals and how to use their body and voice to tell a story. Students will explore activities that strengthen their social and emotional development and enhance language skills.

Each week, this acting program introduces fun, collaborative games, a related craft, and activities that will help to improve listening skills, coordination, and imagination.

Acting Discoveries is designed so that any level of student between ages four to six can enjoy a fun and safe acting experience.

Returning students are welcome! New stories and material will be introduced each session.
