Throughout the course, students will prepare a production of short one-minute skits and ten-minute plays to be performed at the end of the semester. Material will be chosen after the first class based on the desires of the students. While the goal of the class is to prepare a small production for friends and family, students will additionally explore improv, physical acting, script analysis, and a variety of acting methodologies.
