During this fun-filled semester, students will develop their acting skills through direct teaching, exciting improvisations, and preparing an original, one-act play called Mayhem at the Museum.
When four friends accidentally get locked in a museum overnight, they encounter historical figures come alive and must help stop two cat burglars from succeeding their heist of a rare artifact. Along the way they meet George Washington, King Tut, Mona Lisa, a southern belle, a Greek philosopher, a medieval knight and more in this hilarious one-act comedy!
The semester culminates with the students performing their play ON STAGE for family and friends to enjoy.
