Students enjoy the art of improv and comedy and have an opportunity to learn how to act for the camera. As many of you know, Sears Studio has connected with local film and television producers who are growing their home base for Lifetime and Hallmark movies in our area. This class will address any students interested in preparing for opportunities/auditions in the local film and TV industry.

 

This class will also perform an award-winning original one-act titled "The Actor's Tribute" at the end of the semester.

Dance is coming to the Studio. Many of you don't know that Ms. Young was a studio dance teacher with aspirations to open her own studio prior to my snagging her up. She has been waiting with great anticipation to add dance to our roster. More info on this Thursday's after-school class- coming soon!  We would love to know if this piques your interest.

*All students must audition for their roles.

During the first few weeks of class, we will help new students with the audition process.

Students do not need to prepare ahead of time. However, if they are interested in a leading role, it is always a good idea to get familiar with the music as soon as possible.
