Free Youth and Adult Acting Workshops in Stamford

STAMFORD - Students of all ages are welcome to join a free series of eight acting workshops held weekly on Tuesdays 5:30-7:00pm starting September 30 to be held at the First Presbyterian and United Methodist Church located at 96 Main St. Workshops will be led by local theater educators Marisa Caruso (youth class) and Kristin McCalley (adult class), members of The Party Theater- a non-profit theater company based in Stamford.

These Stamford Village acting workshops are designed for community residents of all ages to explore live performance skills including voice, movement, and script interpretation. In eight weeks, students will learn a series of vocal and physical warm-ups and theater games, a variety of acting and writing exercises, as well as perform short scenes for their families and peers. The advantage of having simultaneous youth and adult workshops in the same building is that it allows parents to participate and learn while their children are involved in activities tailored to their abilities. Parents and children can both relax and then share their unique experiences after class and at the final showcase

Youth classes are open to ages 7-13, and adult classes for ages 14+. Sign-up, get information or ask questions by emailing: mrsacrso@gmail.com. Drop-ins are welcome for this weekly workshop running from September 30-November 18, but space is limited! Advance sign-ups are recommended.
