Drama Classes
NBYT's Stage Play and Stage Performance classes are designed to combine the instruction of drama classes with the excitement of being in a show! They're ideal for younger actors, children who want their first experience onstage-or a little more experience-or even older students who want to practice their stage skills or who aren't able to audition and rehearse for NBYT's productions.
In each section, children explore acting techniques, voice, movement, and improvisation in order to develop focus and learn to work together as an ensemble. Each term, the group will rehearse a selection of pieces from works chosen especially for the children enrolled. Older and more experienced children will work on scenes of their own with a greater focus on character development. More time spent on drama games and activities will introduce younger children to performing on stage. Small group sizes will give each child quality instruction and will ensure that everyone has a featured part in the performance.
Small-scale performances, with simple costumes and props, are held at the end of the final class and are open to family and friends.
Winter/Spring Beginning Date: Saturday, January 26
