“Play” with Puppets
AACT Academy Creating Theatre at Kiesel
All you really need to tell a story is an acting space, actors and an audience. However, spectacle makes it all so much more meaningful. Roll up your
sleeves and prepare to get messy as we write, design and create!
Working with Words – Basic playwriting techniques
The foundation of any play is the script and everyone has a story to tell. We will use age appropriate methods and tools, (crayon, pencil pen and paper) to create a script
Design – Costumes & Makeup – Sets & Props
After the actors create their stories with words, they will get to dress and decorate them as well.
*Classes will be held under the pavilion and in the Nunn Winston House.
