Children’s Spring Theater with Instructor Nora Mosrie

Let’s create a play to celebrate Earth Day! This three-part workshop will take children on a theatrical journey through the visual and performing arts - all while focusing on ocean conservation. Children will explore sea life and develop an understanding of some of the environmental challenges various creatures face in their habitat. Children will have the opportunity to create and perform a play on this subject while working as a team. They will create a story, develop characters, make props, learn basic acting techniques, and read a script based on the group's story. Children will explore speaking, musical movement, and stage directions. There will be a short performance following the last class on Wednesday, April 29.

Please sign your child up early. Limited space is available!
