Theatre Games and Improvisation
Stillwater | Registration opens 1/6/2025 12:00 AM CST
Learning basic stage and voice techniques allows anyone to build confidence and skills in staying in the moment and adapting to various situations. Whether you want to explore the world of acting or just want to learn how to “think on your feet” in social situations, you’ll be inspired and have fun—even if you are shy. No acting experience is required. You just need a willingness to speak, move and play. Those who are differently abled are welcome.
