Rags to Riches Creative Dramatics Classes
Join Rags To Riches theatre for young audiences for Creative Drama classes. We will explore our imaginations, play theatre games, explore pantomime and movement for the stage, and develop original scenes and characters, and much more more. Students will be exposed to the similarity between adding details to the scenes they bring to life and the details used when they are writing stories. This series is a springboard for encouraging creative thought and developing confidence performing for others, and promoting self-awareness. Please wear clothing that will allow the student to move freely in class.

Sandy Ridge Elementary : Tuesdays, January 9th-March 2nd 3:45pm-4:45pm.
