Drama
LAMusArt’s Drama department features two diverse programs that offer students an outlet to develop their skills in dramatic performance and dramatic writing.
Drama: LAMusArt offers weekly classes that expose children as young as 8 to the art of acting. Youngsters learn basic dramatic skills such as creating characters, reading and memorizing lines, and stage direction. As the class progresses, students advance their proficiency by challenging their development as actors, utilizing the art of improvisation and character analysis. In addition to audition techniques and design elements incorporated in the curriculum, our Drama program prepares students to enter the world of theatre as well-rounded performers. Classes are limited to 10 students. Tuition - $16 per class
