Objectives
The primary focus of the practices will be developing a quality performance glorifying to God and with aesthetic value.  The goal is to help individuals develop as actors and people, through instruction and personal experience.  The experience will be more than just producing a play; the “class” might better be described as stage performance development.

Cost:  $130 per semester, Family Discounts do not apply to classes
