Shrek Adventures
Overview
Our Young Actors’ Showcase will be inspired by the movies and Broadway musical of Shrek. Join beloved characters like Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, and Gingy, along with new friends, in a brand new adventure.
This 90-minute class provides a more advanced option for our growing young actors. The cast will have the opportunity to share their work in a final presentation at the end of the session.
This class builds on the basics introduced in our Mini Actors’ Showcase, concentrating on story-structure, characterization, the creative process, and acting techniques. Our young actors will experience a more realized performance, complete with technical elements.
Students are expected to attend all rehearsals and their performances.
Our Young Actors’ Showcase is an excellent training ground for our musical showcases! It is recommended prerequisite for our Musical Showcase program, and we recommend a minimum of two sessions at this level of study.
