Register Today for Young Actors and Young Actors Plus Classes at Playhouse on Park!

There's still time to register for the Young Actors and Young Actors Plus classes at Playhouse on Park, running from September 28-December 7! Young Actors is open to children in grades three and four, and Young Actors Plus is open to children in grades four and five.

In both levels, students will participate in acting exercises and script work to allow them to increase their comfort and technique in portraying a character. Topics will include story telling, using the voice and body onstage, ensemble work, expressing an emotion, and techniques for presenting scenes and monologues. Though the emphasis of each class will be on developing skills and not on a final performance, family and friends are invited to the last class to see students present poems, monologues, or scenes.

Playhouse on Park is pleased to introduce Emily Santarsiero as the instructor for both classes. Emily was born and raised in Glastonbury, CT.
