Students to perform A Charlie Brown Christmas and an adaptation of Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Christmas Carol 

Seattle, WA - Taproot Theatre’s Fall Acting Studio classes get underway in October with in-person experiences for students in 3^rd through 12^th grade. The Acting Studio’s Christmas Showcase classes offer students the chance to work together to perform their own Christmas play, hone theatrical performance skills, and create an ensemble while learning to take artistic risks. 

Students will be challenged to make bold and detailed character decisions and fully immerse themselves in the world of the play. Experience isn’t required, students will audition on the first day of class and are expected to be at all rehearsals. Students will be amazed at what they’ve accomplished when it all comes together in a final performance. 

All classes are taught by Taproot’s experienced teaching artists and theatre professionals. Registration and class descriptions are available online at http://taproottheatre.org/acting-studio or by contacting the Acting Studio at 206.529.3668 or [email protected].
