When you mention drama for kids most parents think of the 2nd grade play at the local elementary school. This class is far from that.  Our drama program teaches kids the skills needed to grow into a confident, articulate and creative adult. Students learn to express their ideas and communicate as their self confidence strengthens.

During their weekly classes, students participate in acting exercises. They learn to work together as a team while never feeling like they are competing with each other for the spotlight. Our main focus is developing the self confidence, sense of team work, creativity, and articulation that’s not just acting skills but people skills.

Q15: What if I have a shy child?

Children are often shy because they lack the self-confidence and communication skills needed to overcome their shyness. Drama class is designed to build communication skills including: verbal skills, body language, projection, and articulation. These skills boost children’s self-esteem and self-confidence. Our teaching studio offers a friendly environment. Students are taught to express themselves without fear of being teased as well as support fellow classmates.

Q16: Are your classes appropriate for my spirited child?

If you have a child with a lot of energy or is very outspoken then drama is a great outlet for them to focus and use that energy.

Drama helps kids learn to focus and take direction while not squelching their spirit.
