Our Class List

We offer classes to teens on the autism spectrum who have a love for theatre. The primary goals are the same as our regular program. We want to create a safe place for these students to express themselves, experiment with characters and emotions and work as a team to create a work of art. Drama is a wonderful vehicle for  teaching social and life skills in a natural setting. Please see our testimonials for individual parents and teens perspective on how this class has shaped and enriched their lives. It is truly remarkable. 

The classes are divided up into age specific classes, and appropriate level for the individual.

*This is a 12 week adaptation of the full year course, with an open class at the end rather than a final show.

For Kids that show a passion for creativity or those who have completed the Young Drama Program and are eager to continue. We offer this class. Classes start in early October and run for 28-weeks. The students work on technique (through theatre games) for the first half of the year, then there is an open-class for family and friends before the winter break for holidays. The students come back in the new year, and while they continue to work on technique and play interactive games, they begin work on an individually selected and adapted play which is performed in mid- May at the school, free and open to all who want to come.

This class is a short adaptation of our full year Musical Theatre Class. The new Musical Theatre class offered by The Children's Theatre will give the students an opportunity to experience the feeling of being in the ensemble of a Broadway hit!  The students will focus on learning popular musical theatre songs from youth-oriented productions.

This is a specialized program. It is the only class at our school where an audition is required. This takes place in September. Students who are interested will be asked to come up with a small piece of their own, receive direction from a teacher, and participate in group work before being selected. This program begins for students around 9 years old and goes to 17 years old. This advanced program is designed for those students who have more experience with theatre and have a higher level of dedication to acting. The performance class performs in the community at the end of the school year, as well as at the school. 

Specifically created for 4 and 5 year olds, this class is 12-weeks long, ending in an "open-class." An open- class is different for every individual group, the children generally choose their favorite games to show off and get parents and  siblings involved, there is often an aspect of short performance and/or story telling.  It is a chance for family and friends to see  how much the children have grown and learned.  This program uses imagination and storytelling to lead the way into  adventures and other lands, lead by the students and guided by the teachers to touch on the important skills all through active  games.
