Mini Kids Play

Ages 6-10

This class provides our youngest actors with an opportunity to perform a short play on-site at our rehearsal location. The group will play games, learn about being in a play, be cast in a role(s), work with a script to learn lines, wear costumes, use props, learn theatre protocols, and more! For kids who have never been on stage, this is a great introduction to being in a play, especially if they are considering our Mini KIDS Musical. We want all participants to have a blast and be challenged by their experience!

The last class will be extended for our Performance Day. Family and friends are welcome to attend the show, which will be staged in our transformed rehearsal space (no tickets will be sold).

Play Selection

Plays are planned for each session. However, actOUT! reserves the right to substitute another play selection if required. This may be done if we have too few/too many actors registered for the class and want to ensure that everyone has a moment to shine on stage. Scripts chosen will be age-appropriate and typically run between 15-25 minutes.

Many of our scripts come from Drama Notebook: https://www.dramanotebook.com/plays-for-kids-and-teens/

Attendance

Attendance is an important part of the rehearsal process as actors work as an ensemble and rely on one another to be there. If an actor will miss Performance Day, a different class will be a better option.
