Theater Training Program
(7-10 year olds)
Sandra Kammann teaches the craft of theater using strategies that keep kids, imagining, creating and having fun! The Ensemble will collaboratively devise an original play in which everyone has the opportunity to shine in their own special way. Students will learn acting skills, performance techniques, stagecraft, story-telling elements, communication skills, and the power of collaboration. Creating original work in a supportive environment builds self-esteem and a sense of meaningful community. Our final session will culminate in an Open House Show for family and friends.
