Maltz Jupiter Theater Announces Adult Evening Classes

Sometimes the best adult classes are those that are pure fun!

For the first time, adults of all ages can participate year-round in the Maltz Jupiter Theatre's acting, tap dancing and improv classes at the Theatre's Conservatory of Performing Arts. The classes, which premiered during the 2009/2010 spring season, will now be offered in the evening to accommodate adults with busy schedules.

"In addition to our popular family programming, we have expanded our class offerings to adults, with the opportunity to learn and grow at times that are convenient for them," said Julie Rowe, the Conservatory's Director of Education. "Local residents can build confidence and receive training from the world-class, talented professionals who teach our classes. Students can learn with Broadway veteran Brian Andrews as he introduces the art of tap to the best of Broadway's music, or explore the craft of acting and creativity of improvisation."

"I love tap dancing. It's something I hadn't done since I was about five years old," said Jupiter resident and tap student Jan Davisson. "The instructor is fantastic, and it's a great way for anyone to exercise their mind and body."

From January through March, the Conservatory offers adults a full range of daytime seasonal classes ranging from song and dance to tap, Broadway jazz and a senior chorus line, as well as a memoir writing class and play-reading club.

As a not-for-profit theatre, the Maltz Jupiter Theatre, recognizing the importance of arts education for all ages, has made its mission to "entertain, educate and inspire." The Conservatory offers a challenging, innovative and quality theatre experience to students of every ability and provides professional theatre training as well as tools to develop their imagination and self-esteem. Conservatory students, in addition to taking classes, are invited to attend workshops that feature local and national talent.

Registration for classes is now open. Adult classes are $15 an hour, or $150 and up for the semester. For information, call (561) 575-2672 or visit www.jupitertheatre.org.
