can rely on each other and bring their full selves to the rehearsal room.”

 

– Nina Meehan, Founder of Bay Area Children’s Theatre and Innovation and Creativity Speaker/Consultant

 

” It’s clear that their theatre program helps create confident young artists who work

incredibly well as an ensemble and take pride in their work.”

“Woodland Opera House’s Chitty Chitty Bang Bang JR. was completely innovative. The cast

created sets, costumes, and even a flying car with without any physical

Creative Theatre Play 

Our Homeschool Creative Play class will be a semester-based program introducing fun, structured theatrical play for students. Incorporating fun theatre games that can assist beginners and experienced students alike with memory/retention, confidence building skills, muscle coordination, taking calculated risks, and public speaking, this type of class can be the spark of what begins an interest in the performing arts or just allows students to come out of their shells.

 

Mini-Play Workshop

 This class will be introducing aspiring actors to a script or two that will be auditioned, rehearsed, and put into a mini-production with an in-class showcase on the last day of class. Students will learn how to memorize lines efficiently, how to build characters, and how to block/stage scenes.

 

Classes will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons.  More classes to be announced soon!
