This straight play class gives students the chance to rehearse and perform a full-length, non-musical production—focusing entirely on acting, character work, and storytelling. These productions offer a powerful platform for young actors to dive into character-driven narratives, develop strong ensemble chemistry, and explore the full range of dramatic expression.

By stepping into more complex scripts and layered roles, students will be challenged to think critically, connect emotionally, and grow in their ability to tell honest, engaging stories. Working on a straight play broadens each performer’s experience, deepens their understanding of human behavior and relationships, and builds essential skills in focus, timing, and character development. Selected plays offer a unique window into the world around us—encouraging students to reflect, empathize, and bring meaningful stories to life on stage.

*Registration closes on the first day of class, Tuesday January 5, 2027.*

Auditions will be held during your first class, Tuesday January 5th 5:30-9:00pm. Audition info to come.



PLAY SELECTION: ONE STOPLIGHT TOWN
One Stoplight Town is a story about people from a town so small that you might drive through without taking a second look. But if you stopped for just a moment, you might see a young boy and girl fall in love, a cantankerous grocery store owner coping with change, a son returning home while a daughter thinks about leaving, and a handyman taking it all in while he fixes what is broken. These stories and more are filled with fun characters, lots of humor, plenty of heart and the theme that change comes for us all, whether we are ready or not.
