With instructor Garrett Olson
Sessions in 2026
The MAC is pleased to announce its after school theater program for ages 9-12. Young actors in this interactive afternoon program will explore multiple facets of theater craft. Activities may include acting, improvisation, theater games, scene study and exploration, script analysis, and movement for the stage.
Coming Soon: Additional one-hour scene study option
This longer class is a great option for students who wish to hone their scene study and monologue skills! In this final hour, students will dive deeper into these activities in this focused portion of the class.
Students should wear comfortable clothes each day.
