ABOUT THE CLASS

For those of you yearning for the challenge of performing a play while stuck at home, join us for a fully-staged Zoom performance! Since the shelter-in-place orders were mandated in March, many playwrights have created wonderful content specifically for the Zoom platform that allow middle school actors to dive into meaty characters and practice their acting skills! We’re still reading the scripts to choose the right one, but rest assured this play will be funny, poignant, challenging, and give us something creative to work on while we practice acting through a screen. Our class will culminate in a 30-40 minute live play via Zoom in which family & friends are encouraged to tune in!
