READERS THEATER ———————————————————— Love to be dramatic? Have you always wanted to act but the thought of memorizing lines has discouraged you? Are you afraid you won’t remember your next line? In this class, you do not learn lines, you learn how to use your script while you are acting. It’s a lot of fun and reduces the stress of performing in front of an audience. You will never have to say “Oh, I don’t remember my next line.” 1-½ hours. Instructor: LEIBOWITZ. • $75 (Non-resident $90) JUNE 14 SA 10 AM • 8 WEEKS FC-202 (#253149-01)
