First Act! Kids Theater

First Act! is a theater class that teaches acting, character development, stage management, and design. Participants will gain an appreciation for a theater production and learn what goes on behind the stage. They will do warm-up activities, acting games, improv, and play analysis. They will learn to use their "stage voice" to project, and their body language to build character. Students will perform a short, 10-minute play on the last day of the 6-week session for parents and friends. This class will help the out-going child focus their energies and the shy child to come out of their shell.

Classes are held on Mondays, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. at Springfield Township Community Arts Center, 9158 Winton Rd, Building A, behind the fire station. No class on Nov. 23 due to Thanksgiving break.
