About the Academy’s Drama Classes

The Drama class includes short plays and skits, theater games, improvisation, and more. The Drama and Musical Theatre classes put on a show for family, friends, and the public every 3 months (~12 weeks). Performances generally include a supportive audience of family and friends who gather round to witness the hard work of the entire drama class!

The Drama class runs year round. A student may start this class at any point within the first 6 weeks of each performance block (see schedule below) and is committed to at least that one performance.
