Our Mission Statement

The purpose of the Dallas Theater education program is to offer children, youth, and adults professional, engaging and diverse theatre classes where individuals can cultivate a love of the art while learning and growing their craft.

2021 – 2022 Program Information
The Dallas Theater provides acting classes for students looking to further their skills in acting. We offer classes for ages 8-17 and rotate Acting I and Acting II courses on a rotating basis.

 

Acting I

Acting I is a 5 week, 10 class course aimed at introducing students to acting basics and building a strong acting foundation. Both age groups will work in-depth in the areas of movement and space, character development, focus and concentration, and listening and reacting.

The class will culminate in a group showcase of monologues and scenes.

Once an actor completes Acting 1 this winter, they will be eligible to take Acting II late summer of 2021. Acting II expands upon Acting 1, offering a deeper understanding of acting techniques and audition etiquette.

Acting I will resume January 2022. Check back for registration info!

Acting II

The next course, Acting II (also 5 weeks/10 classes), is open to any student who has completed Acting I, been in a Main Street Players production, or has multiple years of camp experience. This class will build on the basic foundation they already have, go more in-depth with various acting methods and script analysis and learn more about creating life-like, nuanced characters through timing, tone, and body language.

Acting II also focuses on proper audition etiquette. Both classes offer workshops ranging from improv to mock auditions featuring guest instructors which ensure a well-rounded acting experience. Each class session culminates into a showcase of scenes and/or monologues allowing students to show the skills they’ve learned in front of an audience.

We are taking the safety and health of our students and teachers very seriously. Here’s what we are doing to keep us all safe:

  • Masks are welcome at all times. We only require in areas of our building that are smaller and hard to distance in.
  • All attendees and instructors will have their temperature checked upon arrival to class each day.
  • All attendees must have a legal guardian sign a liability waiver and COVID questionnaire.
  • All attendees must bring their own supplies (a list of what is needed will be emailed prior to the first class).
  • Each age group will have a daily designated class space so that no two groups are in the same part of the building on the same day. The building will be deep cleaned and sanitized before the next day of class.
  • Multiple hand sanitizing stations will be available.
  • Water fountains are not available for use. Please bring your own bottle of water.
  • 6ft of social distancing will be maintained and no more than 4 people will be sat together at a table.
  • Due to the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Dallas Theater reserves the right to postpone/cancel classes for the safety and well-being of students and staff.
