The second session of this new class series is dedicated to advancing students’ skills in the art of acting. While many local students have private voice teachers or take dance classes, it is our experience that very few students have gained formal instruction
in acting technique. We firmly believe that this is essential for success in theatre, or as a dancer or vocalist. Classes will be taught by Producing Artistic Director, Owen Smith and is ideal for students who have participated in shows and are between the
ages of 15-18.<o:p></o:p></p>
