An opportunity for homeschoolers to connect with other creative actors in their community!
Amanda Dougherty homeschools her own children and has been teaching theatre to homeschooled students for several years. With over 30 productions behind her, she’s heard testimony to the dramatic effect performing has on students of all ages. Some of the results she’s witnessed have been an increase in reading ability, reading comprehension, confidence, improvements in speech and movement, socialization, along with many other benefits.
With our program, students can expect to learn performance techniques, improve acting skills, learn about the many aspects of live theatre including props, costumes, lighting, staging, and grow in all the basics to hone in on their specific interests and abilities.
Because Amanda has been working with such a wide range of ages and abilities, she has learned how to place and use everyone to the best of their abilities and challenge each one just enough to help them grow. It’s a unique opportunity for the beginner to the experienced and the young to the mature.
We invite your student to join us this semester for 90 minute classes every Tuesday, ending in a 60 minute performance!
Class time will be spent rehearsing for the performance as well as lessons and playing games that target specific skills and character development.
2025 Season TBD
