This winter, our young artists will explore the world of vaudeville and slapstick comedy! Through short scripted scenes and playful ensemble work, students will explore timing, physical humor, and expressive storytelling. Together, we’ll shape a mini performance built from classic comedic bits—full of movement, imagination, and teamwork. Our focus remains on creativity, confidence, and collaboration in a supportive, inclusive environment.
