Sept 13-Nov 15, 2021
Calling writers only! In other classes, students combine ideas to make one group play, and then perform it. In this class, kids get a real taste of the professional writer's life by writing their very own script. Each student will learn about play structure, great dialog, complex characters, and stage craft in order to create his or her own unique short script. On the final day, we will bring in professional actors to do a reading of each work so the writers can hear their words come to life.

Each student will be assigned a sonnet to decipher and will perform it at the end.
History Improv Ages 8+
Women in History 1:30-2:30 PST
$155/$170 (charter) per student, per class.
Sept 13-Nov 15, 2021
Each week we will learn about a new person in History. Lessons will be taught in collaboration with the students and fun facts they bring in each week. We then bring in a theatrical spin to what we’ve learned and act out these historical figures and moments with improvisation games and character exploration living it on our feet and sometime rewriting history in the process. Our students need no previous experience in theatre or history to enjoy this program. We take all levels. It should be noted that history does have some mature content and while we will be very sensitive to this, our suggested age range for the class should be taken into consideration. Students can join this class at any time if the class isn't full. No previous experience is required.
D&D Creative Writing with Cy
$195/$210 (charter) per student, per session ages 10+
6-7:30pm, June 14 - Aug 16; Sept 13-Nov 15, 2021
Join us as we apply creative story writing, character exploration and storytelling through the vehicle of the ever popular fantasy building tabletop role-playing game D&D. Each student will create their own character which will then embark upon a made-up adventure. Our teacher will be our Dungeon Master serving as the game’s referee and storyteller. Students will work as a group and do a weekly character writing journal and take turns updating the weekly story summary journal. Not only learning logic and problem solving, this will be a creative adventure for all! Please note: The content can often be dark but we will strive to avoid anything too dark or demonic. *This program will take place on Roll20.net in addition to Zoom.
