| The Novice Actor Class is designed to give students the basic information and knowledge they need for any type of theater performance |
The Novice Actor Class
| Philosophy of the Theater Department Most children have an innate creativity. We like to build on that. We want to afford any child who ever felt that they would like to be on stage or perform the opportunity to do so. Being able to perform in front of an audience is a great challenge, and by conquering it, the child feels a sense of accomplishment and builds self esteem. |
| Teaching Philosophy The theater classes are run in a fun, encouraging, and interactive style. Our goal is to get each child comfortable on stage, and most of our class time is spent there. Children are encouraged to ask questions and/or share thoughts. Most of the material is printed, reviewed and then practiced in the class. The learning is done through fun games and exercises. It is our belief that children learn best through doing. |

Final Notes......
Parents and guardians are welcome to stay and observe each
and every class, but it is not required. We ask that you sit at
the back of the gym. Student pick up time is 5pm, sharp.
Since our theater program is still developing and growing, we
do ask for help from the families with props, backgrounds, and
costumes. This is never anything too elaborate, but if you
have a special talent, we would love to know about it!
Questions, concerns and comments are always welcomed.
Please feel free to e-mail me at pv.drama@yahoo.com or call
777-4090. Please leave a message if I am unavailable.
