Acting Out is thrilled to be offering our annual summer SHINE program, now two weeks long! This is a fast-paced two-week program culminating in an incredible LIVE performance. The entire session and final performances will be at our Acting Out! space.
The first day is devoted to auditioning prep. All audition material will be provided in class
​
Throughout the two weeks, actors will be immersed in various theatre activities including character development, costume design, improv, musical theater dance, and more!
​
We will also explore choreography, vocal technique, and acting to create our final production of FINDING NEMO JR. Regardless of being the "lead" or in the ensemble, each student will be pushed to learn new skills and work towards our final performance.
Our theater intensive is for all skill levels and will give every cast member a chance to shine! We focus on self-confidence, self-expression, commitment, and of course, FUN!
Scholarship Opportunities and payment plans are an option if needed. Please email actingoutregistrar@gmail with questions
