It’s a new year and new programs will be available for students itching to develop their theatre skills.
TheatreWorks has been offering valuable programs that provide theatre skill building and enhance self confidence. The success of the TheatreWorks programs are based on the philosophy of founder, instructor Kymme Patrick.
“It’s imperative to provide a safe and encouraging environment so students of all levels and ages can excel and grow” says Patrick.
TheatreWorks is entering its 25 year of programs and productions. Former student, Catherine, wrote this note, “Just wanted to let you know that I have just registered my three children in theatre programs. I could not help but think of how wonderful my experiences were with you all those years ago.
“I was a shy yet curious kid. You gave me such a great introduction to performing but most of all the confidence I gained has lasted through the years. Thank you so much for that. I only wished we lived in the Valley again so my kids could have that same experience.”
Those in the Valley can look forward to beginner programs, Directions in Drama I & II, geared for the young student aged five to 11. Advanced Performance I & II for ages eight to 12 will provide direction in vocal work, character development and performing skills. The popular teen Story Theatre class combines improv, storytelling and script work.
These classes and more will begin next week and registration is limited.
For those not able to engage in these eight- to 10-week programs, they can participate in the Play in a Day (Pro D day) events. The next date is Feb. 6 for a full day of theatre activities and ending with a performance for family and friends.
SummerStage dates and announcements will be made at the end of the month.
Registration is needed, as classes are limited so each student gets the full one-on-one experience.
