Classes are taught by professional staff and take place on Saturday Mornings from 9:30 - 12:30. Students then have the option to stay for rehearsal in the afternoons and participate in a full scale production at the end of the semester. Because we are an educational program, the students will all be cast once our semester is underway and auditions are held. We do not hold open auditions for our student body productions, so show choices are made based on the students we have registered each semester, their ages and their skill levels. </span><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Our classes follow the NYS Learning Standards for Arts in Education. Our students are learning the craft of theater and many stay for years and years as their skills grow. </div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">We also teach life skills such as commitment and accountability, which is vital in order to be successful in this discipline.</div></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Register today!
