A cold wind is blowing, and spooky characters are hiding around every corner! In this unique theatre class, you get to do it all. Using advanced theatre-making methods you will construct characters and design worlds to create original ghost stories. As you create, you will build skills in:

Creating unique characters using body and voice
Collaborating with a team to create an original story with a beginning, middle, and end
Using theatre design techniques to create one-of-a-kind settings for your story

…and more! On the last day of class, family and friends are invited to watch your original story premiere right in your classroom.
