Our Youth Acting Workshops will introduce you to the basic techniques of acting through scene work and games.

Come play with us!

Students will learn the basics of acting, using emotion, physicality, and character work to develop skills for auditioning and acting for the stage.

We have two sections available for this workshop. Our ages 7-12 students will meet from 9am until noon. Our ages 13- 18 students will meet from 1pm until 4pm. Solid focus and listening skill are a MUST. Please dress comfortably and bring a water bottle.

Please make sure you are registering your child for the correct age group, and use their name when registering.

Join us on Saturday August 9th for a double dose of our Yes! And...? Improv troupe.

Our 7p offering will be a family-friendly bit of fun. Come see the goofy games and quick brains of our troupe members as they try to incorporate the audience's suggestions into the variety of silly scenarios they have generated.

We will take a short break after the first show to let the gang rest and recover, and then we'll come back for more fun at 9p.

The second show will be geared towards adults, and may have a bit more bold and bawdy language (YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!). Be prepared for a little bit of anything and everything as the troupe takes their improv to the weirdest and wildest places they can imagine.

$15 admission per show

Come "Play" With Us!

Without William Shakespeare, we wouldn’t have literary masterpieces like Romeo and Juliet. But without Henry Condell and John Heminges, we would have lost half of Shakespeare’s plays forever! After the death of their friend and mentor, the two actors are determined to compile the First Folio and preserve the words that shaped their lives. They’ll just have to borrow, beg, and band together to get it done. Amidst the noise and color of Elizabethan London, The Book Of Will finds an unforgettable true story of love, loss, and laughter, and sheds new light on a man you may think you know.

“THE BOOK OF WILL…unequivocally announces Gunderson as a playwright with whom to be reckoned. It is, quite frankly, one of the best plays I have ever seen. It will bring tears of both laughter and sorrow to all but the most jaded audience member’s eyes. It is, in a word, a triumph.” —Boulder Weekly (CO).

“[Gunderson] has peopled the stage with lively, historically based characters…She paints a vivid portrait of the times in language sometimes formal, sometimes poetic and often…contemporary…She also gives a real feel for theater life and what it means to be an actor; you sense this is a work of both scholarship and love…[THE BOOK OF WILL] serves as homage to those who sacrificed to make the first folio happen and to Shakespeare’s magnificent words.” —Westword (CO)
