AFTER SCHOOL CLUB - Adventures in Acting

About this event

Bring your favorite storybooks to life in this exciting class! Each class begins with physical and vocal theatre warm ups that will get children ready for the day’s theatrical exploration. The warm-ups focus on creating characters with our bodies and voices, sparking our imaginations, and working together as an ensemble. Favorite children’s stories will then start our dramatic adventures for the class. Students will have the ability to act and speak as the characters in the story, learn the foundations of improvisation, and gain confidence standing in front of their peers. Looking for an engaging, convenient, safe, and creative option for your kiddo in the neighborhood with school pick up options? Seek no further, because Treasure Trunk has you covered! With options Monday through Friday, your child will be safely walked from their school (drop-off options also available, if preferred!) and welcomed into a world of imagination and dramatic play, led by our talented teaching artists who are both theatrical and childcare professionals. TIMING: All days run 3:00-5:00pm, with an optional extended day from 5:00-6:00pm Please Note: Students registered for Extended Day at Brooklyn Brainery will be walked to TT Prospect Heights (700 Washington Ave) for the 5-6pm portion of the day. OUTLINE OF THE DAY: Kiddos will be walked from their school to our studio, if optional school pick up has been purchased. We will then have a snack time followed by quiet coloring and homework help (if needed). Students will then dive into their focus for the day with our specialized and engaging theatrical class. From crafting their very own props and costume pieces in our Monday class, to learning beloved musical theater songs on Tuesdays, to bringing storybooks to life on Wednesdays, to creating their very own mini musical on Thursdays, to improvising new adventures each week on Fridays - there is something for every kiddo here at Treasure Trunk. With every curriculum and focus, our program fosters a love of self expression, connectivity and confidence. Whether your child is running for center stage or is a little bit shy in the spotlight, our teaching artists create an individualized approach for engaging every kiddo in a unique and authentic way.
