Foundations to Performance: Teen Acting Intensive with Leland Williams
Mondays, 6:30 - 8:30: Deepen your acting skills through monologues, scenes and ensemble work. Actors will strengthen vocal clarity, physical presence and emotional truth while learning to use their voices as powerful storytelling tools. Ideal for anyone looking to gain confidence with both classical and contemporary material. 

Performance Acrobatics with Naja Muller
Tuesdays, 6:30 - 8:30: A chance to build strength, flexibility, grace and stage presence, whether you are an actor, a gymnast, a dancer, or none of the above. Training in tumbling, partner acrobatics, mini-trampoline, stretching, flexibility and contortion, with an eye to awareness of your audience.

Circus Skills for Actors with Joel Melendez
Wednesdays, 6:30 - 8:30: A chance for actors (and circus performers) to build their apparatus-based ground circus skills, including juggling, rola bola, diabolo, flower stick, rolling globe, unicycle and more. These skills may seem impossible at first, but with practice and perseverance the impossible will become reality! 

Commedia dell’ Arte with Dic Wheeler
Thursdays, 6:30 - 8:30: An introduction to the characters, style and world of the Commedia dell’ Arte, a 16th century Italian masked comic form which has impacted comedy ever since. Fast-paced, physical, irreverent and revolutionary, Commedia will play a big role in this Spring’s Teen Rep production. This is a great opportunity to put your voice in the Spring production while learning where the roots of most  contemporary comedy come from.

Tuition: Any one class $120. Two classes $200. Three classes $250. All four $300.

Note: Winter classes are offered to prepare teen actors for the creation, creativity and multiple skills that will be demanded of performers this Spring. 
The Teen Repertory Company and Circophony Teen Circus will be combining this Spring to produce an original piece, created and directed by Dic Wheeler, which will combine Theater, Circus and Commedia dell’ Arte. This indescribable spectacle will be a comic history of the world, tentatively titled "Mel Chomsky's Zinnful History of the World". 

People ages 13 - 20 may enroll for 1, 2, 3, or even all 4 classes this winter. 
Everyone will be part of the Showcase on February 13.
Auditions for the Spring show will be February 23 &amp; 26, 6 - 9 pm
Rehearsals begin March 16.
Performances May 14 - 16 &amp; 21 - 23
