"All the World’s a Stage” - and by offering Kindergartners the opportunity to perform, to improvise, and to pretend in a supportive, nurturing environment we help them prepare for what lies ahead. Learning to articulate and project one’s voice, assuming various emotions, recognizing and portraying feelings, taking direction and improvising are all invaluable acting and social skills. Join us in  these on-going workshops where we utilize theatre games, warm-ups, narrative storytelling and improvisation to enhance self-confidence and ignite the children's creative spark.
