Get a taste of stardom and explore the process of theatre training through high-energy theatre games, improvisation and activities. Create characters, explore dramatic interpretation of classic stories, learn lingo and challenge your imagination and hone projection and articulation skills while engaging the body in purposeful physical expression. Some at-home memorization required. 

Please note: progression through acting classes is not like progressing through grade levels of school.  Many children simply enjoy the kinesthetic learning and team building aspects of drama class. Your child should be enthusiastic about their participation and should only move to a higher-level class when they have mastered core components and are seeking further challenge. In general, we suggest a minimum of two full semesters of Process level classes before moving to Intermediate level classes.  Students should be able to: name the parts of the stage, use abbreviations for stage directions, be able to define basic theatrical terms, understand CROoWw, be familiar with Lessac energies and Laban qualities as well as wanting to be given more responsibilities/homework and be willing to repeat material weekly for rehearsal. Your current SCCT teacher is always the best reference for whether your child is ready to move up and you should email them regarding your child’s progression if you have questions.

Musical Theatre – Movie Musicals 2 | 1st-6th    

Thursdays, March 9-May 18 | 4:15 – 5:15 PM | Chelsea LaCourse & Jessica Smith | $180 

Musical theatre training for performance—you don’t have to read music, but should enjoy singing and basic dance. Learning very basic music terminology and basic movement/staging for a song, will help youngsters feel more comfortable at a musical audition. The class will focus on ensemble musical theatre material taking our inspiration from the MOVIE musicals. Due to social distancing guidelines, the choreography will be done primarily in place and really allow for each student to “sell the song.” All selected material will be appropriate for this age group. We’ll be working on different material from the class we offered last Fall. 

Improv! – Acting without a Script | 2nd-6th    

Mondays, March 6-May 15| 5:30 – 6:30 PM | Mia Phillips| $165 

Be bold! This class is focused on improvisation training and performance.  The objective is for the actor to become comfortable in acting without a script.  Benefits for the beginning, intermediate, new and returning student actors are: 

  • Working as an independent actor, exploring all areas of acting without a script 
  • Working in groups and learning how to “think on your feet” and perform without self-judgment.  

A good class for those who want to further their scene study skills, character development skills, and stretch and explore their imagination and creativity.  Improvisation training improves performance skills– allowing students to receive all information around them before making choices of their own.  Be prepared to laugh and to laugh at yourself too! 

Musical Theatre – Best of Broadway 2 | 4th-10th     

Thursdays, March 9-May 18 | 5:30 – 6:30 PM | Chelsea LaCourse & Jessica Smith | $180 

Musical theatre training for performance—you don’t have to read music, but should enjoy singing and basic dance. Learning very basic music terminology and basic movement/staging for a song, will help youngsters feel more comfortable at a musical audition. The class will focus on ensemble musical theatre material taking our inspiration from the music of BROADWAY hits – classic and modern. Due to social distancing guidelines, the choreography will be done primarily in place and really allow for each student to “sell the song.” All selected material will be appropriate for this age group. We’ll be working on different material from the class we offered last Fall. 

Musical Theatre – Singing Solos | 4th-10th 

Thursdays, March 9-May 18 | 6:45 – 7:45 PM | Chelsea LaCourse | $165 

Want to really nail your next audition? This class will help. More than a simple audition prep class, this class will help students understand the choices, preparation, and performance that go into shining at an audition and on through closing night or even preparation for talent shows. Learn to think like the character and how to select material that will help you really “sell” the song. Students should bring sheet music for a song or two they’d like to sing/hone to the first class (or the karaoke track for the song). 

 All Colors of the Spectrum | 2nd-12th     

Tuesdays, March 7-May 16 | 5:45-6:45 PM | Traysie Amick | $165 Almost sold out!

A class for kids with processing or developmental challenges. 

This class is for all those creative minds out there who may feel unsure that performance arts class is a good fit for their needs.  Though activities that are modified to allow for processing and developmental challenges we will explore many aspects of theatre arts.  A small class size ensures a setting for students to get more individual attention.  This also allows us to challenge each student on an individual level and utilize their strengths in our artistic collaboration. Instructors encourage parents and caregivers to provide information about behaviors, interests, and language that is commonly used in the home to create a safe and productive learning environment for each participant.  Please email traysie@scchildrenstheatre.org ahead of the first day with info you care to share. 

We begin with a focus on storytelling and collaboration.  This will allow us to devise original short sketches that will ultimately be performed by the end of the session.  Those who are comfortable with the idea of performing will be cast in leading roles.  Those who may need more time to warm up to being in front of an audience will have opportunities in supporting ensemble roles and technical theatre aspects so that we all work together to create an experience for an audience of family and friends to enjoy at the end of our classes.
