Explore storytelling through puppetry! Children will have a blast as they use a variety of materials to craft puppets and bring a character's story to life. Students will create their own puppets and develop a puppet play script using expressive voices and their creativity. **Classes held at Lancaster Public Library **
Young learners will experience all it takes to put on a show! They will explore costumes and props, create set designs, and learn songs and dances from Broadway shows. Early learners that attended our Fall Academy of Theatre are encouraged to return to build upon the artistic skills they have learned. **Classes held at Lancaster Public Library **
It’s an acting class. It’s a writing class. It’s improvisation! Students will write original short plays and then perform their work in front of a live audience. Students will create a new play everyday by pulling objects from a box and creating an original story based on these objects! Performers will create roles that stretch their acting muscles and be the first actor to originate a part in a brand new play! **Classes held at Lancaster Public Library **
Students will create scenes and musical numbers while developing strong physical characters and staging stories as an ensemble. Young actors will engage in various Broadway singing styles, scenes and dance techniques throughout this fun-filled class! **Classes held at Lancaster Public Library **
Each week students will explore a different artist and component of the theater, from costumes, lighting, set and props design to learning what it is like to be an actor or a director on the Fulton stage. **Classes held at Lancaster Public Library **
