Love the spotlight but also want to explore what happens behind the curtain? In this class, you’ll get to do it all! Combining acting, music, and design (just like in CCT’s popular summer camps), you’ll get to make and perform a show from scratch by creating the story, writing the songs, and crafting the props and costumes. You’ll build skills in:

  • Performing confidently in front of others
  • Using body and voice to create a character
  • Building and telling a great story
  • Designing and creating theatrical props and scenery
  • Listening and collaboration 

…and more! The last day of class will culminate in the opening (and closing) of your original short play, performed right in your classroom! 

CCT offers free after-school pick-up from Skinner West Elementary School and Intercultural Montessori.
