Advanced Level
Actors in this acting class will read and discuss a different play each class with other actors! They will have a chance to create dynamic characters using their voices while practicing inflection, emotion, and motivation. Students will not only become more fluent and expressive readers, but they will also become more empathetic actors, learn to create character voices, and build their play knowledge! Plays will be chosen based on the number of students enrolled to ensure that everyone has lines to read. Plays are approximately 40-50 minutes in length and will include a discussion of characters, sets, costumes, and blocking from the viewpoint of a director (as time allows). Students will read 10-40 lines each and every effort will be made to make sure that students who read less lines one week will be balanced with more lines the following week! (This class sometimes goes over the allotted time depending on the speed of the readers and length of the plays.) Plays include (but are not limited to): A Wrinkle in Time, Peter Pan, R.O.M.3.O and Julia, Dorothy and the Thief of Oz, Home Shopping Studios Live, among others.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their reading, processing, acting, directing, and understanding of theatre problems and solutions in this ongoing class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Florida Teaching Certificate in English/Language Arts
Master's Degree in Education from Concordia University
I fell in love with teaching because I truly enjoyed watching my students fall in love with learning! I LOVE sharing the things I love - Theatre, Public Speaking, Words, Games, Communication, Writing, and Life Skills! I have tons of energy and enthusiasm that is contagious - I make learning fun!
I achieved a life-long dream when I sold my children’s theatre in South Florida to travel the United States in an RV (with my husband, kids, and dog) and teach! We have recently settled down (temporarily) in Las Vegas!
As a professional actor, director, and producer, I am passionate about the performing arts and the skills students get from participating in it. As a professional speaker and speech writer, I love to teach students how to effectively find their voice and communicate their message with the world! I have taught students of all ages - Acting and Directing, Speech & Debate, Public Speaking, SAT Prep, Writing, and various Life Skills like Memory and Goal Setting. I love my thousands of students across the world - past, present and future! I am also a Toastmaster and an IEW teacher. I am the founder of the Articulatable Membership!
I have a BA in English, a Minor in Theatre, and a Masters in Education, Curriculum and Instruction. My years of life and teaching experience make me a great match for many types of learners.
I have 4 kids of my own (ages 28, 26, 14, and 12), an amazing husband (Hugh Coley, who also teaches on Outschool as "Mr. Yo"), an adorable dog, and an amazing life! I look forward to helping your student fall in love with learning!
