Drama Workshops


The PCDC acting program runs year-round. There are several different programs to meet a variety of needs, including the very popular plays.

Stories Alive  (Ages 4 – 6) (Ages 6-8)

During this 45-minute program, children are introduced to drama through familiar stories, which they can act out, using props or simple costumes that they make and take home.    This is a great introduction to acting.  This course is designed to be taken over and over again, the stories and props will not be repeated. 

Actors Workshop    (Ages 6-10)  ( Ages 9-15)

Basic acting techniques are covered with ample opportunity for individual expression and group exercises.   Throughout the course, students will explore vocal expression and body movement, through games, exercises, and staged readings.  This is offered as a 5-6 hour one day course or as a 4-6 week one hour course.  The Actors Workshop is offered in the Fall ( Sept) and again in January.  Occasionally additional programs are added in the Spring. It is therefore strongly recommended that your child take the Fall or Winter Actors Workshop  if they wish to become a Discovery Center Player and act in the plays. 

Summer programs  (Ages 5-7)  (Ages 8-12) 

The 5-7's can take half or all day programs and you can choose to incorporate a 90 minute or a 45 minute drama component.   During the summer, the older children meet at night with the same options.

PLEASE NOTE:
YOU MUST TAKE AN ACTING COURSE PRIOR TO BECOMING
