Class, Camp, and Show Catalog
Main Stage Play:Peter Pan Open Enrollment Ages 12-18
Join us this spring for our mainstage play: Peter Pan. This hybrid of a mainstage production and season class is something you won't want to miss!
Written over 100 years ago, this classic play has a message that still resonates today: we are never too old to play and sometimes we just don't want to grow up. But when we mess with the natural order and try to clutch things too tightly, we often end up isolating ourselves and losing what we hold dear.
In this exciting hybrid, all students aged 12-18 can sign up and are guaranteed a role in the show; all adults 19+ are welcome to join us through a supported audition process! With our two nights a week class structure this also means we will be able to dive into putting on a great production, and really learn and work on honing our craft as we go.

Improv II
“The rules of improvisation apply beautifully to life. Never say no - you have to be interested to be interesting, and your job is to support your partners.” - Scott Adsit

Why is it important we have an arsenal of characters to play with?
Why is it important to establish a prop and not walk through it?
Why is it important to lose all abandon and embarrassment and allow ourselves to try new things?
