(Grades 3-5) Young Actors Collective: Devise and Perform Your Own Play!

**Director approval required. Please email Terah@theatrelab.org with child’s previous experience for approval**

For young actors who have experience and are ready to step into the spotlight, this class is an exciting opportunity for young thespians to embark on a creative journey where collectively they create and perform in their own play. Led by senior faculty member Bry Minix, students will start by delving into collaborative storytelling, where as an ensemble, they will devise and write their own play. The second half of the class will be focused on bringing that play to life. Students will explore more about their characters and rehearse their play for a final performance that showcases the talent and creativity of their collective. Join us for this class where young actors become the architects of their own play! (As this is a performance-based class, attendance is extremely important. Please make sure your child is available for the dates prior to registration)
