INTRO TO ACTING

SPRING 2025
Tuesdays, 6:30-8:30pm & Saturdays, 1-3pm
Understanding a script is so much more than the characters on the stage. In this class, students will read a pre-selected contemporary play aloud and then analyze each scene to discuss and interpret the playwright’s intentions. Students will then explore how creative decisions - such as acting choices, staging, and design, can serve that interpretation and the overall story.
