In this course, young actors will be coached and challenged to delve deep into the process and history of storytelling through acting! Together, we will explore what makes a story worth telling, characters worth following, and how collaboration can result in something fabulous. Based on classic fables, students will explore the use of ensemble, voice, and movement in theatre. It is a great way to build foundational skills while having all the fun of putting on a play!
