Registration is now open for Fall YPW Classes!

It’s that time again: Registration for Fall 2011 classes! This session we have an exciting line-up of classes, all of which are designed to accommodate children of all different levels of experience to work on acting and/or singing and performance techniques. Each class will culminate with a Recital Performance on the Wayside stage at the conclusion of the 8-week session.

YPW 1 and 2 are great for beginning actors, as well as those trying to develop their skills further. Music Theatre teaches vocal technique, character development and the art of telling a story through song. Adult Scene Study is great for any adult who’s caught the acting bug. Our Shakespeare class approaches the bard in an accessible and fun way and is a great introduction for anyone who is interested in auditioning for our Spring Shakespeare: The Taming of the Shrew. Finally, we have YPP for our littlest actors, who are introduced to theatre through games and a short play.

Our classes offer youth and adults the opportunity to work with professionals in the field while creating confidence, instilling discipline, fostering creativity and building esteem. Give your rising star the chance to shine by signing them up today! If you have any further questions, feel free to call Megan or Thomasin at Wayside Theatre at (540) 869-1776.

Classes are filled on a first-come, first-served basis so call today to register! Payment Plans are available!!!! To Register call the Box Office at 540-869-1776
