Noble Fool Theatricals Hosts Open House and Workshop for Local Youth, 10/29

The Noble Fool Theatricals Performing Arts Academy will host a Fall Open House and Free Workshop Event on Thursday, October 29, 2009 from 4-8:00pm in the Studio Theater at Pheasant Run Resort  for local youth ages 3 - 18.

The open house is designed for interested children and their parents to come and learn about the academy, meet the accomplished teachers, and even try out a mini-workshop with fellow students. Each workshop will include a short performance from past students.

"So many times I get emails and phone calls from parents who have children interested in trying a class, but sometimes are too shy or unsure to commit to a full session of classes. By having an open house, we're creating an environment that's inviting and fun, where current students can talk to new students, and fellow parents can get to know each other and ask questions," says Education Manager Tracy Whiteside. "This free event is a great way to just try it out and see if it's right for you!"

Each hour consists of: an introduction from Tracy Whiteside, a showcase performance from current NFT students, and a mini-class with an Instructor. Attendees are able to come at anytime between 4-8:00pm to participate or just watch. Parents are invited to observe as well.
