Acting Up! Jr. (K-2nd/3rd)
Acting Up! Jr. is an exciting, interactive class that is perfect for our littlest thespians, with or without experience!

This group helps students find self-confidence and develop public speaking skills. Acting Up! Jr. encourages students to explore their curiosity and creativity. At the end of the program, students will showcase their new abilities on the stage.
