Theatre is great for kids with a love of the spotlight or those wanting to come out of their shell, make friend

This class is a Theatre Production class stretched out over a full school year. 

Each class will be spent rehearsing a full show with set, props, costumes, lights, and sound.

There will be a full tech week near the end of the school year where students will be required to attend class in the evenings (typically 5:30-8:30, or 6:30-9:30, with an estimated end time which can run later), followed by three nights of live onstage performances complete with break-a-leg roses during intermission and a curtain call.

Parents are required to volunteer for two spots which include needs like Annex Mom, Usher, and Line Reader. Parents are also required to attend the first 30 minutes of the first class to go over important theatre information as well as sign a Contract of Commitment with your student.

This class is for one of our non-musical shows, so your student will not have to memorize songs or dances.

This year's show will be a version of either Robin Hood OR Sherlock Holmes.

Everyone in the class will get a part, but will have to go through a closed in-class audition during the second class day, for which they will need to memorize a short monologue (around 1 minute) which you can find online or from another play/movie/etc.

Required supplies:

Your student will get a script that they need to bring to every class. 

They also need to bring a water bottle, a highlighter, and a pencil. 

They need to wear clothes they can move around in, and shoes that will stay on their feet and be good for the surface of the stage. Jazz shoes are highly recommended. We also might have days where they will need to work on sets and props (around paint!).

Hair will need to be in a ponytail or otherwise out of the face.

Most costumes and props will be supplied by the Theatre department. Other things that the theatre doesn’t have will need to be supplied by the student and parents (from home or GOODWILL. Amazon sometimes.).

If your child is going to miss a class you must notify me as soon as you can. Missing classes is allowed but it affects every student more so than a regular class.
