Act Up With Florida Rep

Florida Repertory Theatre announced its second session of classes for youth and adults. The six week class session begins November 3rd and classes meet on Monday nights through December 8th.

Florida Rep's second fall session includes programming for ages 4 and up with classes focusing on fantasy characters, creative thinking and an intro to classical theatre. Enrollment is now open.

"We're vary excited to offer these three very different classes," said Education Director, Rachael Endrizzi. "Our first session was very successful this season, and we're looking forward to the rest of the season."

Florida Rep's Education Department offers theatre classes in the fall, winter and spring that are open to community members of all ages. These classes allow Florida Rep professionals to share their experience with those who are eager to learn more about theatre. Areas of study include, but are not limited to: improvisation, theatre games, movement, acting for youth, acting for adults and stage makeup. Specialized classes are also offered for home school families as well as parent organizations and playgroups.
