Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this theater class:

A great class for theater enthusiasts to learn, explore, and experience dynamic new plays. Each week, the class reads a contemporary play cold from start to finish, developing character spontaneously. With the instructor's creative guidance, students learn to accumulate circumstances and make creative choices about character. At the conclusion of the cold reading, the class has a thoughtful discussion of the play, its cultural context, impact, and themes. 

No prior theater experience required. This class is for adults ages 55+
