Final Class Performance: Act I for Beginning Actors

Act I celebrated their final class by performing their play, Sleeping Beauty.

Our young actors learned stage presence, becoming different characters, pantomime and analyzing a script.

The performance was fantastic! It was a little nerve wracking for some of the actors - as this was their first stage experience - but the show must go on!

Sometimes, the most difficult thing for young actors to understand is vocal projection, especially in front of an audience!

Another hurdle is learning to say lines using emotions of the character. These are difficult concepts for any actor to master. But, you have to begin somewhere!

In Act I, students learn to express themselves through games and other exercises. Stage acting is taught and explored with a short theatrical performance.

12 novice ladies enrolled in Act I and, under the supervision and encouragement of instructor Adam Schuler, blossomed into inspiring actors ready to learn more!

Here, one of the fairies catches Maleficent after the Prince awakes Sleeping Beauty and the kingdom.

King and Queen once again on their throne!

Great performance! Thank you ladies!
