Ages 10+

Form a pirate crew with your fellow classmates and set sail for fortune and glory! In this performance skills/RPG-Play course, you’ll craft your character’s unique backstory, abilities, and look. Then, you’ll bring them to life through improv and storytelling challenges before actual-play sessions of a tabletop role-playing-game. (If you’re interested in ‘Dungeons and Dragons’ , it’s like that but isn’t that exactly…)(Less ‘dragons’ more ‘mermaids’)

Will you discover the Lost Treasure of the Sunken Isles, or be swallowed whole by the deadly Kraken? The only way to find out is by playing the game! 

Ye Olde Fine Print: This is a fantasy pirate adventure with all of the trappings you might imagine. Forts will be raided, treasure will be plundered and buckles will be swashed. (Or is it ‘swashes’ will be ‘buckled’?) Which is to say: violence and thievery are inherent to the genre. Storylines may also involve: spoooooooky skeletons, the existence of grog/rum, dark magic, a pantheon of gods + beliefs. We would rate the content as PG-13, in line with that of the Pirates of the Caribbean films. 

Grades 7-12

Let’s go down to the Ozdust ballroom…and learn choreography inspired by Wicked! Channel the energy of “Dancing Through Life” and other iconic numbers as you bring the music of Oz to life through movement. Develop strength, coordination, and storytelling skills while exploring the journeys of Elphaba, Glinda, and other Ozians. By the end, you’ll be ready to share your spellbinding dance moves with friends and family in an open sharing straight out of the Emerald City!

Grades 7-12

Discover the art of bringing stories to life through sound! In this hands-on workshop, learn the craft of foley—creating everyday sound effects to enhance a performance. Using a script as your guide, experiment with a variety of objects and techniques to design and perform sound cues that add texture, emotion, and realism to scenes. Whether it’s the rustling of leaves, the creak of a door, or the crash of a thunderstorm, foley artists transform ordinary items into extraordinary soundscapes. This workshop is perfect for anyone curious about the magic behind the scenes of theatre, film, or audio storytelling!
