Start your fall break by getting your creative juices flowing! Join us for a two-day theatrical workshop for students with an interest in acting, writing, and set design. Students will choose their own paths as we start with improvisation, move to script writing, and end with a self-created performance. Students will work in teams to develop scripts, sets, and perform their own plays at the end of the two-day workshop. Students more comfortable working behind the scenes can work on their contribution, while those who enjoy the spotlight can focus more on the acting portion of the workshop. This is an opportunity for students with any level of experience.
