Creating Characters

An Acting Class for Children Ages 6-8

Fall Session: Saturdays, 12:00pm-1:00pm

September 27 - November 15, 2025

(No Class October 10)

Class Description:

Join Studio Playground for an acting class that invites students ages 6-8 to create a short play using their original characters. All classes begin with a group warm up and physical acting game as students learn the fundamental concepts of voice, body, and imagination.

Students explore elements of improvisation, crafting, and group storytelling to bring their characters to life. Each session culminates in a brief performance for friends and family.

Students who attend multiple classes are supervised in between programs by our staff.

We recommend that students bring a nut-free snack or lunch to enjoy in between classes.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explore the health benefits of laughter through movement and improvisation

  • Understand the actor’s tools of voice, body, and imagination

  • Skills for communication and collaboration

  • Skills for self-awareness
