Step-on-Stage: 9:00–1:00pm
Step-on-Stage In Depth: 2:00–4:30pm

Sign-up for Step-on-Stage or Step-on-StagE In Depth alone, or sign up for both for an all-day experience.

In Step-on-Stage you'll create your own play from your imagination, adding music, dance, and usually a twist or two!

You'll work with: a director who will help you put your show together, a music director who will help you create your own songs, and a choreographer or theatre specialist who will teach you a new dance or skill to incorporate into your show.

Each Step-on-Stage In Depth session is geared to help you dig a little deeper as an actor. Have you ever wondered how all those fight scenes work without anyone really getting hurt?

Or, have you ever wanted to be a real comedian? Well here's your chance!

Join us to learn Stage Combat, a British dialect, or even learn how to play Quidditch!

• Dramatic structure
