PREP4 REP PROGRAM

6 week session of acting classes for actors ages 10 - 12 

Saturdays 10:30am - 12:30pm

NCT Studio, 1341 West Main Rd., Middletown

Fall 2018 session is September 8 - October 13

Classes will cover introductory acting techniques that will prepare the younger actor for the next stage in their study of the craft. Many of the same methodologies used in Teen Repertory classes will be covered in this preparatory session.

Students will focus on developing a character, movement for the actor, improvisational skills, as well as scene study work. 

Students will conclude the session with a public performance in our Halloween event "Grimm's Fairy Trail" in late October. This family-friendly, outdoor event is a community favorite and exciting for the students to perform in. Three addition rehearsals will be added for performance preparation.
