Sign up for theatre classes, part of the Make/Believe festival!

This year we’re offering two days of theatre classes as part of our Make/Believe festival for young audiences. Choose from Building the Character — Literally, Building the Story or Building the World.

This year an emphasis was placed on producing pieces for Make/Believe in a way that children watching at home would be able to replicate – so they could “play” Make/Believe at home. These three stage craft classes are mean to do just that - help this next generation of theatre artists craft their own stories and shows at home.

Please note these classes are currently scheduled to run concurrently, so students will only be able to choose one per day. Classes are scheduled for June 5 & 6 only. Details on the classes are available here.
