Class Experience

This course is a weekly equivalent of a high school/undergraduate theater course. However, it's guaranteed to be a lot more fun!

As an ongoing class, students will develop an ensemble of theater artists working together to learn and grow. The club members will determine our focus each week. 

Expected activities will include:

--working on contemporary theatrical monologues
--rehearsing and presenting scenes between two or more actors from contemporary and classic plays
--learning the fundamentals of playwriting as we write monologues and scenes for each other to perform
--developing work together through ensemble creative process
--developing an understanding of the director's role in working with actors and rehearsing plays

However, if there is interest in performing a scene from a Harry Potter film or Stranger Things, that's absolutely going to happen!

Vaudeville routines? Sure. Commedia dell'Arte? I've got you covered.

It's all the social benefits of a drama club.....but with a highly experienced (but relentlessly amusing) instructor.

Please contact me with any questions about this course.

Learning Goals

Students will learn the language and skills of contemporary acting theories and practices.

Students will learn the components of strong playwriting.

Students will learn the skills of directing actors in scene work.

Students will learn how to collaborate with other artists through consensus building and constructive criticism.
