This class is for teenagers with a desire to learn more about script analysis, character, and world building through the exploration of scenes and monologues. In a comfortable and fun learning environment we will focus on the the personalization of scenes and relationships to scene partners. Students will learn and hone key tools including objective, obstacle, actions, and physicality, while encouraging their inner confidence and playfulness. It is the goal to have every student give themselves permission to stretch the limits of what they believe a scene or monologue contains so that they can reach the heights of their imagination and take the journey to becoming a great actor with disciplined but fun and imaginative technique. $50.00 non-refundable deposit to hold a spot.

SYNOPSIS

Camp Crookline is an all original musical which follows the story of 12 teens who go to summer camp and get lost in the woods while searching for the mysterious lost ring of the camp’s legendary and long-lost founder, the crazy Humphrey Crookline. Forced to work together to find their way back to camp, mishaps and hilarity ensue! Choices, trust, talking trees and wistful wildflowers, a mysterious legend, a lost love and a lost ring; the crooked paths each camper follows leads them to places they never knew they could go. 

Filled with comedy, mystery, music, and a few life lessons thrown in for good measure, this show is great for the whole family!
