Virginia Children's Theatre to Present Winter Academy Classes

Virginia Children's Theatre is inviting all aspiring actors as well as students looking for fun to join the VCT Winter Academy. Winter Academy Classes will kick off in January 2023. All VCT Academy Classes are held at the VCT Studio (located at Greene Memorial United Methodist Church - 402 2nd Street SW). Academy Classes provide year-round, high-quality theatre instruction in music, theatre and dance for Pre-K through 12th grade.

VCT Academy Classes seek to show young people a world where imagination and creative expression thrive: the theatre! Academy Classes are perfect for serious, aspiring performers as well as for students who want to have fun. Students engage in the exploration of improvisation, musical theatre or scene study activities, depending on the class selection. Core theatre skills such as projection, articulation, blocking, stage directions and objectives are also taught throughout the semester. VCT believes that theatre skills are skills for life!

"VCT is thrilled to offer another session of high quality theatre classes for students in our region," says VCT Assistant Director of Education Lana Huffington. "It is a pleasure to develop these courses for students who are curious about theatre arts. Not only do we take care in providing each student the skills to succeed on a stage, but also provide essential life skills that students can equip themselves with in order to be successful."

To register for Winter Academy Classes at VCT, students may go online to VirginiaChildrensTheatre.org. If parents or students have questions about which class is best, they may call the VCT administrative office at 540.400.7795.
