NPT is Offering a Performance & Play-Making Class!

We’re a theatre company with a twist, so we’re now offering acting classes with a twist!
YOU’LL LEARN! Students will explore acting techniques, scene work and character development in a supportive and creative space PLUS have the opportunity to create original material through play-making.
YOU’LL CREATE! Play-making gives you the chance to tell your story! It’s the process of making theatre as an ensemble through creative play. Actors explore improvisation, storytelling, costumes and movement to bring original works to life onstage.
YOU’LL PERFORM! Actors will perform at the final class and some of their work will be showcased at the annual NPT Gala and streamed via social media. The final class will showcase your work to your parents/friends.
EXTRAS:
