This tight knit group establishes a strong ensemble where deep dramatic college preparatory work will be undertaken in a safe and age appropriate environment. Experience in performing and basic scene study is required. We will delve into intense character development and process work while integrating physical acting skills and engaging into personal inquiry about ourselves as actors in relationship to environment and circumstance. During class time we will explore different method acting techniques and delve deeper into “living truthfully under the imaginary circumstances of a play.” We will be working directly from Uta Hagen’s: “Respect for Acting” as well as “A Practical Handbook for the Actor.”

Each program costs a monthly tuition fee. Call 303-245-8150 or email info@theaterforkids.net for more information on price details and tuition agreements.
