It’s a swashbuckling tale! Practice your “Arghhs” and your “Ahoy Mateys” through song, dance and stories all about Pirates.  

 

March 26 – Shakespeare!

Fairies, magic and fun fill the class through the beautiful language and stories of Shakespeare.  Students will learn a bit about the Bard, his many stories, and characters, and even practice some of his poetic language.
 

April 2 – Costumes! Lights! Stage!

What are costumes? Why do we have lights? What’s a Set Designer? During this class, we will explore a stage and what is on it. Exploring the visual artistry of theatre, each student will also get a chance to design and draw their own costume – and share it. 

 

April 9 – Song & Dance!

Students will learn a classic musical number from a Broadway show.
