Description
Mini Actors’ Showcase: Globe-Trotting AdventuresAges 7-8Inspired by Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach and its musical adaptation, join James and his insect companions on an all-new globe-trotting adventure
This 90-minute class provides a more advanced option for our growing young actors. The cast will have the opportunity to share their work in final performances at the end of the session.
This class builds on the basics introduced in our Mini Actors’ Showcase, concentrating on story-structure, characterization, the creative process, and acting techniques. Our young actors will experience a more realized performance, complete with technical elements.
Cost includes all rehearsals, performance, and a show T-shirt.
Students are expected to attend all rehearsals and their performance.
Our Young Actors’ Showcase is an excellent training ground for our musical showcases! It is a recommended prerequisite for our Musical Showcase program, and we recommend a minimum of two sessions at this level of study.
