Taproot Theatre to Launch Fall Acting Studio Classes

Autumn is almost here and Taproot Theatre is gearing up for Fall Quarter acting classes. Taproot's Acting Studio offers classes from 4th grade to adults throughout the fall and into the holiday season. The Theatrical Players and Teen Ensemble Christmas Showcase allows students to experience a collaborative rehearsal process, while working as a team to create their own unique Christmas show. Those in the Adult Showcase will study acting fundamentals and make bold character decisions. And students in the Theatre Players Showcase will work as an ensemble to build the confidence and collaboration skills needed to tell great stories. These classes will be taught by professional actors Nikki Visel and Lorrie Fargo, and Taproot's Associate Director of Education & Outreach Shelby Parsons.

Fall Quarter runs September 14 through December 15. Classes are held at Taproot Theatre, 204 North 85th Street or at Phinney Ridge Lutheran Church, 7500 Greenwood Ave N. Registration is open now. Registration forms and class descriptions are available online at www.taproottheatre.org, or contact Taproot's Acting Studio at 206.529.3668 or studio@taproottheatre.org.
