At Black Dog, kids and teens can express themselves and make connections through theater, acting, & improv activities that promote personal expression and social interaction in a welcoming and friendly environment. Our classes are age-based and are appropriate for beginners hoping to improve their confidence and public speaking skills as well as experienced actors looking to practice their craft and grow as performers. 

Our curriculum changes with each session so each class brings new games, scenes, monologues, and experiences. All classes are drop-off classes.

SPRING PERFORMANCE – ISSUE #13 – REGISTRATION IS FULL FOR THIS AUDITION

Grades 2-9    |    2 Hours    |   Thursdays @ 5pm   

 

We are excited to announce our Spring production that will rehearse in our studio and be performed at Stage West Theater at Palm Beach State College (Lake Worth Campus). Issue #13 is an original one-act comedy that will have the audience in stitches as they watch our bumbling Super Villain and his motley crew of Henchmen try to take over the world...assuming they don't blow it up first. 

 

Auditions will be held at our studio on Thursday, January 16 from 5pm to 7pm. The performance will take place Saturday, May 3rd at 5pm. Actors should be fluent readers, but do not need to have anything prepared for the audition. Beginners welcome! If your child is cast, tuition will cover the rehearsal period, costumes, show t-shirt, and four complimentary tickets to the show. Please register your aspiring actor below prior to auditions. An invoice will only be issued if they are cast. We will have a mandatory tech rehearsal on 5/2 and the performance is on 5/3 at Stage West Theater in Lake Worth.
