Classes and Camps
A2CT Theatre Arts Club
Join us for lively conversations, networking, and of course, plenty of dramatic flair! All levels of experience are welcome, especially novices or those first exploring the adventure of live theatre.
In this group we are exploring the art and science of acting, tailoring sessions for each individual's experience level and prior experience with acting. We use theatre games, one page scenes and longer scripts to expand the acting abilities of each participant. The eventual goal is up to you...if you want to just have fun in each meet-up, eventually audition for the first time or hone your experienced acting skills with new characterizations to land challenging roles. It is up to you.
Meetings are aimed at retirees and those in non-traditional jobs, meeting on Wednesdays 11:30am – 1:30pm.
More details to join the group is on the Meetup website.
