Act 1: ages 7 - 10

This class will introduce younger actors to the world of theatre. They'll build confidence and find their stage presence through fun exercises and guided activities. There is a reading requirement and students will be expected to practice their parts at home.

Act 2: ages 10 - 13

This class will encourage and challenge developing young actors. Actors will have mock auditions wherein they'll receive feedback to develop their skills. They'll work on voice, movement and characterization.

Act 3: ages 13 - 16

This course is the most advanced offering at the Bert Church LIVE Theatre. Actors will have auditions wherein they'll receive feedback to develop their skills. These auditions will consist of group work and a cold-read from the script. Throughout rehearsals we will cover table work, movement, voice, characterization and timing. Memorization is required so students are required to take scripts home to work on their lines.
