Please avoid putting any food, trash, or soiled items into the bins. Thanks!
Theater Classes:
  • Improv: In this one week half day session students will learn the basics of improv through short form games a la “Whose Line…” while at the same time learning how to use improv as its own theatre form of storytelling not just as an acting tool.
Acting Basics: This class is for the experienced as well as the beginner. Students will get the basic skill set of acting but with an Above the Law twist. How to be intimate in performance, create relatable characters and focus on the storytelling. The normal theatrical rules don’t matter here. 
 
Both one week workshops are taught by Theatre Above the Law ensemble members. Theatre Above the Law casts teen performers in every main stage production. These classes are how some of those performers are identified.
