Playhouse on Park to Hold Acting Classes for Grades K-8 this Fall

By:

As the new school year proceeds, Playhouse on Park will be holding acting classes for Grades K-8. There will be three sessions for each class: fall, winter and spring. Students are generally grouped by grade level to focus on age appropriate acting techniques, and each class ends with a final student showcase.

For Grades K-2 there is the Creative Kids class, which introduces young children to acting with creative play. Grades 3-5 will have the Young Actors class, where students gain more comfort portraying character onstage. Grades 6-8 can sign up for the Actors Onstage class and further develop their technique with voice and movement. This year's faculty will include Dawn Loveland (Director of Education at Playhouse on Park), Amanda Pawlik, and Linda Wilson.

Class size is limited; registration will work on a first come, first serve basis. Sign up at least 10 days in advance, and you will receive a voucher for a free student ticket to any Playhouse on Park production. For more information (faculty bios, class descriptions, registration), visit www.playhouseonpark.org, call 860-523-5900 x10 or email info@playhouseonpark.org.
