Laguna Playhouse Presents Adult Theatre Education Classes in January

By:

If you've always wanted to learn more about theatre and/or playwriting, The Laguna Playhouse is offering two exciting adult theatre education classes beginning in January 2013. Participants may enroll by calling The Playhouse Box Office at 949-497-2787.

The first class, "Intro to Theatre: The Art and Business of Putting on a Show," offers a behind-the-scenes look at a production at The Laguna Playhouse. Participants will meet the people involved in the new musical Having It All and get an insider's look at what goes into creating a production, from page to stage. The course includes a backstage tour, conversations with Playhouse artists and staff, and a single ticket to the 8 pm performance of Having It All on March 28, 2013, followed by a StageTalk. Classes run February 19-March 28, 2013 (6 Tuesday afternoon classes, 1:30-3 pm, plus one Thursday evening performance) at The Laguna Playhouse. Tuition is $250; seniors, students, Players Club members and Laguna Beach residents receive a 25% discount.

The second course offering, "Intro to Playwriting," teaches participants to conceive, write, direct and present a short play in only seven weeks. The course culminates in a 10-minute play showcase for class participants, family and friends. "No experience is necessary," says instructor Lauren Simon, The Playhouse artistic associate and literary manager. "Just come with a willingness to have fun and try something new." Classes run January 15-March 5, 2013 from 10:30 am-noon at The Laguna Playhouse. The $250 tuition (25% discount for seniors, students, Players Club members and Laguna Beach residents) includes a single ticket to the first preview performance of Having It All on March 5, 2013.

Interested participants are encouraged to sign up immediately, as enrollment is limited. For more information, email lsimon@lagunaplayhouse.com
