YOUTH + TEEN CLASSES A YEAR OF

ADVENTURE

AWAITS YOUR YOUNG THESPIAN...

THREE SESSIONS STARTING SEPT. 17 JAN. 28, & APR. 1

407-447-1700 EXT. 1 ORLANDOSHAKES.ORG

YOUTH + TEEN CLASSES Orlando Shakes classes focus on stage and performance skills that benefit youth and teens long after the theater lights dim. Focusing on the proficiency needed to bring great work to life, our classes celebrate the process of learning, experimenting, taking risks, and challenging expectations by focusing on acting, movement, and Shakespeare’s words. Alone or as a package, this training is valuable for actors of every experience level.

Following each class, students will be given an “Actor’s Notes Sheet” detailing what they learned and assignments for the following week, allowing parents to track their child’s progress and reinforce skills taught in class.

All sessions culminate in a presentation for friends and family on the last day. Join us for continental breakfast at 9:00 a.m. while the students meet for one final rehearsal.

Presentations begin at 10:00 a.m.
