This 8-week workshop prepares you for your first performance in front of an audience by breaking down and covering these different core elements of performance:

• Stage skills
• Shape of show
• Games (setting up, introducing, and playing)
• Scenes (setting up, starting, and ending)
• Audience interaction
• Ensemble-building

You’ll learn new games and explore the balance between games and scenes for a well-crafted show.  The Workshop includes two performances: one is an open workshop for friends and guests and the second is a full show with a paid audience.
