  Theatre Time / Performance Prep  — Our theatre courses are an introduction to the fun of stage theatre in its improvisational form. Students have a blast creating scene after scene, playing theatre games, and learning valuable life lessons such as making friends, handling tough social situations, being kind, finding laughter in life, and correcting mistakes. Classes for younger students include take-home art projects and older students create journals, a process which helps layer learning.  Instructors teach to each child's skill level.

  Poetry in Performance — Drawing from poets such as Shel Silverstein and Shakespeare, this class teaches kids the power of learning to recite and perform poetry.  Working with a talented director, kids develop their interpretations of poems and decide how best to express themselves.  School-wide assembly available for final performance.

  Play Production — LifePlay Productions can deliver an assembly to your school using the talents of your own students and a favorite local author!  Kids learn the ropes of putting together a complete play in this fun class, experiencing everything from performing to props.  Current production choices include Higgledy Piggledy and Mumbo Jumbo, written by Christine D'Amico.  Features a full set, costumes, and music.
