Storybook Theatre is an adventure into storytelling where children are guided from individual imaginative play to incredible group fun! Our youngest students will explore beloved books focusing on storylines, characters and putting a story on its feet. Activities include improvisation, storytelling with friends, and character creation. Your child’s language expands, cooperation and observation skills grow, and most of all, there is plenty of laughter!
1st – 5th Grade
Kids will learn the fundamentals of acting on stage and creating a character by bringing the characters from Lewis Carrol’s Alice in Wonderland to life! Students will learn basic theatre terminology through different exercises throughout the semester. We will end the semester by showcasing a few scenes from Alice in Wonderland on December 11th.
