Due to the pandemic, and various other happenings, we’ve been unable to offer acting classes. We’re exploring our options for 2024. Stay safe, everyone!
Kazoo Theatre Academy offers classes for 1st through 10th grade students.
Acting (1st through 3rd Grade)
Through theatre games, actors will learn basic acting techniques. The focus is on building confidence and allowing a space for their own creativity to flourish. We will have lots of fun!
Acting (4th through 6th Grade)
Through theatre games and improvisation, actors will learn how to use their voice and bodies to create characters and work together to tell a story. The focus is on building confidence and allowing a space for their own creativity to flourish. And, of course, having lots of fun!
Acting (7th through 10th Grade)
This class will focus on improvisation, students will learn how to create a scene out of nothing. The class will cover the four rules of improv – Focus, Be in the Moment, Yes and, and Build on Mistakes – providing tools so even the most fearful improv-er will gain confidence and have success. Students will also learn how to apply improv techniques to auditions and plays.
