About The Program: Our Drama classes help students develop self-confidence and the ability to express themselves to an audience. Students will explore role-playing through a variety of different tools including, but not limited to, improv games, vocal and physical warm-up techniques, character exploration, scene development and more. Class emphasis is on controlling the voice and body to display emotions and utilize the senses. Our drama instructors are professional educators and actors. Our mission is to advocate artistic excellence through creativity and self-expression.
