There are still a few spaces available in Oddfellows Playhouse spring performing arts classes for Complete Actor II (ages 9-11) and Stage Combat (ages 12-14). Spring classes begin the week of April 5 and run for 8 weeks.
“The Complete Actor” classes present a curriculum of age-appropriate basic acting, voice, and movement training.. Complete Actor II (ages 6-8) helps young people develop vocal, physical, and emotional skills using theater games exercises, improvisation, and mime. Youngsters also learn how to work with a script —plus have a lot of fun. The eight class sessions are held Tuesdays, 4:30-5:45 pm, April 6-May 25. Tuition is $140, but Oddfellows’ generous financial aid policy offers assistance with tuition to all who qualify.
Stage Combat classes for ages 12-14 allow students to learn how to—safely—punch, kick, slap, fall, pull hair and sword fight. Stage combat is the illusion of violence, but students will learn how stage combat can be used for humor as well as drama. Classes are Wednesdays, 5-6:30 pm, April 7-May 26. Tuition is $145.
Oddfellows Playhouse is located at 128 Washington Street, Middletown. More than just a performing arts program, Oddfellows aims to make a positive difference in the lives of young people by using the arts as tools to build self-confidence, communication skills, a sense of responsibility, and an appreciation for the richness and diversity of the world in which we live.
