Creative Teens Theatre
That's a wrap on the 2022–2023 Creative Teens Theatre program! Stay tuned for more information on the 2023–2024 season registration.
Aimed at students in grades 7–12, the Creative Teens Theatre program invites students to collaboratively create an original show based on ideas and stories that they are passionate about.
Students will learn a variety of drama techniques and styles, such as acting, character creation, comedy, physical theatre, scriptwriting, movement, and more. This year's program is using a hybrid model of both in-person and online classes: Sunday classes will take place at an Arts Club studio, while Wednesday night classes will take place over Zoom. The class will work as an ensemble to create and shape the program's final showcase—an original show written and performed by the cohort on an Arts Club stage!
This is the place for young people who are passionate about performance and storytelling, who want to express themselves freely and take ownership of their creative work
For more information, contact Kevan Ellis, Director of Education, at kellis@artsclub.com.
