Children's Musical Theater - Advanced Acting

Fall 2008 - Begins week of Sep. 15

 

Ages 8-12

Course Description

Advanced Acting develops young actor's abilities by providing the foundation of theatrical elements such as staging, vocal projection and clarity, movement, dance and singing.

 

Students learn the skills needed to create an expressive, detailed, believable and memorable character through the use of scene and monologue work, creating a character’s history, inventing a character’s physicality and understanding a character’s psyche.

 

Advanced Acting prepares students to not only excel in MTC productions, but also to have the training needed to find success in other productions they may pursue.

Instructor

Tom Weaver holds a BFA degree in Musical Theater from Otterbein College, and has been the director of MTC's Ardmore theater program since 2007. 

Tom's students have benefited greatly from his patience, dedication, and ability to impart his knowledge of theater to aspiring young actors and actresses.
