Civic
Theatre - 2012-2013 Classes
Civic Theatre
students will gain an appreciation of theatre arts, as well
as a deeper understanding of the importance of teamwork,
discipline, focus and commitment, all while making new
friends and having fun with their peers. Students will also
benefit from an enhanced sense of self-image and confidence
while they foster self-expression and develop creative
acting skills.
Our curricula are
designed to give students the best of both worlds—training
in the acting technique plus real experience onstage through
“Take a Bow” showcases at the end of each 6 week session
performed for family and friends.
Classes are divided
into four sessions:
Jump to
Youth Classes (age 7 - 18)
Young Peoples Classes (aged 3 - 6)
Adult Classes

THE DETAILS
Are there Discounts
Available?
Yes.
Members of Civic Theatre receive a $5
discount for every class.
Families enrolling multiple siblings receive
a $5 discount on all classes after the initial class.
There is also a Buy One Get One $5 discount,
adults or youth signing up for multiple classes will see
multiple discounts.
Is there
financial aid?
Financial aid is
available for those who demonstrate true financial need.
Applications are
available at the theatre and
here. For more
information, contact the
Director of Education at 765-423-7529.
What if my child or I
need to miss a class?
Please let us know in
advance if your child will miss any classes so that the
teacher can adjust his or her lesson plan accordingly.
Refunds cannot be made
for missed classes.
Can parents or others
watch a class?
No. In order to help your
child abandon inhibitions and develop a strong sense of
their performance strengths we ask that parents do not
accompany their children past the lobby. Parents are welcome
to wait in the lobby of the theatre during the duration of
the class.
When should I arrive
in order to pick up my child?
Parents should arrive
shortly before class ends to pick up their student. The pick
up/drop off point is the Theatre’s front entrance on 5th
street. Our first priority is your child’s safety. Students
will not be permitted to wait outside. Please be prompt. If
you are late and the teacher needs to wait with your child,
a strict penalty of $25/extra 15 minutes will be imposed.
Will there be a
performance at the end of the class?
Some have a "Sharing Day"
on the last day of class for family and friends that may
wish to observe. This may be an informal performance, a
reading of a script, or they might simply share something
the class has worked on. NOT EVERY CLASS WILL PRESENT A
"PLAY" OR OTHER PERFORMANCE FOR SHARING DAY. Each instructor
will design a sharing day based on the needs and skills of
the class. If a performance is planned for sharing day, it
is intended to be very informal and almost always done
without lights, sets, props or costumes.
Theatre skills are
life skills!
Our classes are very
carefully planned to match the skill and emotional level of
the student. For that reason, we only place students in
classes within their grade range. The first day of class,
you can ask for information on what to expect from any
class. In order to ensure students derive maximum benefit
and enjoyment from the classroom experience, students who
become disruptive or disrespectful will be removed from
class with no refund of tuition.
