Kidz Krew Classes

Kidz Krew: Improv/ Theater seminar

    This class is open to kids ages 8 and up, and no experience is needed, just a willingness to jump in and have fun! Through playful improv games, kids will learn the basics of improvisation while laughing, moving, and creating together! 

    Improv helps kids grow confidence, think creatively, make friends, and learn how to work as a team. During this 4-week session, kids are encouraged to use their voices, trust their ideas, and express themselves in a supportive, encouraging space where mistakes are part of the fun.

    Expect lots of laughter, positive encouragement, and skills that carry far beyond the stage! Whether you are new at improv or have some experience with it, this class is for you! Space is limited, so sign up ASAP!
