Acting Workshops for Children

Little Luna Ages 4-7
April 6 through May 25, Saturdays 10AM - 11AM $120
Theater education is a dynamic part of Luna's commitment to the future of live theatre. In the Little Luna program, young performers discover the creative elements of drama through a basis in story-telling. Through fun games and exercises, Little Luna participants learn about different theatrical elements (sets, costumes, props, scripts, etc.) and how they combine to create a performance. The class culminates in a play performed and designed by the Little Luna students.
