Interested in drama and comedy skills? Driftwood Players Theatre School is offering fun, character-building classes for different age groups starting soon. Registration for all classes is Saturday September 6 from 11am to 1pm at St. Barts in Gibsons
This fall Discovering Drama for 9 to 13-year-olds will start in Roberts Creek Tuesdays 4 to 5:30 with Ingrid Bilton.
“Is a great class for young people who don’t have a lot of experience,” said Driftwood’s Sandi McGinnis.
Or sign up for Family Fun Intro to Drama, which runs Tuesdays from 1 to 2:30 pm at St. Barts in Gibsons, “where parents and children learn the fundamentals of drama in a fun and supportive environment,” Driftwood Players explains.
For youth ages 10 to 16, there’s Jr. Drama Performance Troupe on Wednesdays from 4 to 5:30 which they note is “An intensive production and performance course for young thespians with a background in school or community theatre.”
And for students and adults 16 years and older, they hold classes Mondays 6:30 to 9pm at St. Bart’s starting September 16.
“This year the teacher has decided to hold writing classes as well,” McGinnis noted. The acting students will “examine blueprints for creating our own short monologue/ performance piece. The facilitator, Sally Williams, will guide us and the participants will tell the stories.”
