Kids & Teens Workshops
STUDENTS “ACTING IT UP” AT WHEATON DRAMA
A six week workshop designed to strengthen the acting “muscle” for students in grades 3 through 8. Through acting games and exercises, each week students will work on a different aspect of acting technique such as movement, voice, characterization, pantomime, plus others. Teamwork, focus and listening are added benefits in this acting workshop. Students will also work on a short 15 min skit to apply the skills learned and will perform at the end of the last class. All sessions will be on Thursday afternoons at 4:30 – 5:30:
- Dates: October 26, November 2, 9, 16, 30 and December 7th (No class on November 23 for Thanksgiving)
- WHERE: 111 N. Hale Street, Wheaton, IL 60187
- TUITION: $125

Notification of a canceled class will be sent out the weekend prior to the start of class and all money will be refunded. All decisions will be made the Sunday before the class starts and communicated to families ASAP.
