"These exciting new classes are back by popular demand", says Debra Barsha, Bay Street's Education Director. "From Bradley True's fun-filled acting class, to the unique melding of music and computer technology by Robbie and Steve and finally to the power-packed rock experience with Jam with Jim!, these classes promise to be an experience your child won't forget!"

Bay Streets' KIDS AFTERSCHOOL CLASSES start the week of February 22nd. This 5-week session will run through March 25 and is being offered for children ages 8 to 12. Each class will be held from 4pm - 5:30pm in the afternoon and cost is $125 per child. Call 631-725-0818 x110 to reserve your spot today. Classes being offered include:

MONDAYS: C.A.S.T. (Cool Actors Stay True)
Instructor: Bradley True
Improv Games are a perfect way to get up and perform immediately. This class is an authentic, purely fun and often HILARIOUS experience where kids actually and unwittingly write their own scenes, like magic, out of thin air!

WEDNESDAYS: Imagine! Create! Perform! (The Production Lab)
Instructors: Steve Watson and Robbie McDonald
Do you like music? Do you like computers? Do you have a story to tell? Using traditional instruments combined with modern software technology, Robbie and Steve will help you put your own unique story on stage! Each child will receive an edited DVD at the end of the session!

THURSDAYS: Jam with Jim!
Instructor: Jim Turner
In this class, Jim Turner will be using his unique trademark children's participatory rock concert JAM WITH JIM! which allows each child to immediately rock out! Through using instantly playable instruments (harmonica, percussion and voice), Jim and the kids will join together to create a spontaneous rock experience!

Along with classes, Bay Street's KIDS SCHOOL VACATION THEATRE CAMP will return again for the spring break in March from March 29 - April 2, 9am - 3pm daily. Broadway's own Debra Barsha is back as instructor. Theatre Camp is recommended for children ages 8 to 12 years old. The cost for one-week is $350 per child. Students are required to bring a bag lunch and have a willingness to learn. Bay Street will provide the rest, including snacks. Class size is limited and fills up quickly.
