The Dunes Summer Theatre brings experienced stage actors and instructors to share their knowledge and expertise with your young actor in a fun, challenging, and stimulating environment. Our new fun-packed summer classes are designed to develop creative abilities, teach vocal projection, articulation, timing, listening skills, confidence and grace through theatre games and acting. Classes start with proven improvisation exercises used by the most accomplished actors for vocal and physical warmups. Classes feature improvisation exercises created at Second City and Improv Olympia, as well as professional acting instruction. Students will learn to read scripts out loud and perform onstage with other cast members. They'll also be invited to observe our Summer Company of actors and tech crew as they prepare for our summer production of "Charlotte's Web". Participating students also receive one free ticket to "Charlotte's Web". Best of all, your child will create fun summer memories and make new friends! The summer culminates in a showcase celebrating your young actor's new found talents. So we can provide individualized attention to each student, class size is very limited, so please enroll early.
