Songs & Scenes: Acting, Creative Dramatics, & Musical Theatre for prek-1st graders (typically ages 4-6) 

Tuesdays, 3-4 pm (NEW DAY & TIME!)

Calling all young performers who love to be in the spotlight!  We will sing, dance, and act in class each week!  We'll use our imaginations to make up stories, learn how to express our feelings and create characters, and we'll rehearse portions of the big Bolton spring musical to put our performance skills to use! Fun theatre games, music, puppetry, crafts, and other creative activities will help students grow artistically while working as a team and having fun.

The class will perform alongside the Bolton Drama Club in the spring show at Bolton Academy.  The class will continue through May and students are encouraged *but not required* to perform in the Forefront Arts Spring Showcase at a professional theatre at the end of the school year (Spring Showcase recital fee is included in class tuition).
