At Playhouse, we believe theatre can be created by any person at any age. Our youth classes are designed to build confidence and develop a sense of ensemble and community. Programs focus on developing drama skills in a fun and supportive environment. Each session of classes focuses on a particular set of theatricals skills – Acting, Movement/Voice and Improvisation – and provides a rich learning experience. The class sessions build upon one another and provide a well-rounded foundation.
Each child acting class tuition includes a $25, non-refundable registration fee. Cancellations prior to the first day of class will be honored with a refund, minus the $25 non-refundable registration fee. Cancellations after the first class will receive a pro-rated refund, minus the first class and the $25 non-refundable registration fee. There will be no refunds given after the second class.
In the case of inclement weather, families will be advised via email regarding the cancellation of class. For classes at the Playhouse, we will make decisions no later than 3 hours prior to the start of class. We will do our best to make up for the missed class. If a make-up class is not possible, a pro-rated refund will be provided.
