Storybook Theatre ages 5-9
Who doesn't love to act out their favorite stories? In Storybook Theatre, students will engage with a classic story, then apply theatre concepts to become the characters in that story and act it out together. We'll start with warm-ups and imagination exercises, dig into the story, experiment with key concepts, then perform it together (ending with a curtain call of course)! Each class will focus on a new story. Acting concepts learned in class nurture imagination and relate to a host of elementary develop skills.
Classes are 50min outdoors in Spring Park and will run once a week for 8 weeks. Classes are limited to 10 students. Social distancing measure employed. Mask optional for vaccinated students. Cost: $144.
Note: No class 4/12
This class is taught by Gretchen Weigel Doughty. I have an MFA in Theatre and have been teaching theatre classes/camps for the City of Takoma Park and in Takoma Park schools for over 10 years. My students have performed on and off Broadway and regionally. I have a recent background check from MCPS.
Note: Outdoor class means we are weather dependent. We don't meet during thunderstorms or strong rain. We will likely work through light rain. If inclement weather is in the forecast, look for an email indicating a postponed classes. Any classes canceled for weather will be made up in the week(s) immediately following the last scheduled class.
