Many moons ago in a far-off place, Queen Aggravain decreed no couples could marry until her son, Prince Dauntless, found a bride. Princesses came from far and wide to win the hand of the prince, but none could pass the impossible tests given to them by the Queen. That is, until the “shy” swamp princess, Winnifred the Woebegone, showed up. Would she be able to pass the Sensitivity Test, marry her prince and help Lady Larken and Sir Harry to the altar? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the classic tale The Princess and the Pea provides some side-splitting shenanigans. After all, a princess is a delicate thing.
Acting & Improv Grades 7-10
In Acting, we will explore the fundamentals of monologues, scene work, and improvisation. The acting portion of this class will focus on character development and text analysis, and the students will learn the building blocks of improv while discovering the power of saying “YES, AND!”, as well as hone their ability to think on their feet. This class is jam-packed with individual work, group theater games, and rich class discussions.
