The Black Box Theatre
offers classes for the beginning, intermediate and advanced actor that focus on
"The Method," which strives to make each actor understand the most
honest and truthful way to create and perform their role.
Classes are available
for children, teens and adults. Each class culminates in a performance, to
which friends and family are invited.
The Black Box Theatre produces four mainstage productions per year. Students
who participate in our acting classes are encouraged to audition for
our productions to test their progress in an actual play.
A Note on
Theater Classes
Theater classes are
structured in a cumulative manner, meaning students are encouraged to repeat
classes and continue to learn. The instruction is student-focused and is based
on objectives identified for each learner. While students are grouped by age,
they learn based on what they know and how they can continue to grow.
Students
will have an opportunity to explore the basics of acting
in
a supportive and creative environment. Through improvisation,
theatre
games and scene work, performance skills and
techniques
will be developed and nurtured. The session will end
with
a performance for family and friends.
