You are graded on a bunch of different things so you have opportunities to keep your grade high. You are required to attend two University plays and you also do two performances, a monologue and a scene with a partner. Cannot recommend more!",

This was my first acting class ever, and I took it just because I had some extra credits and it sounded fun, and it really was! This class was everything I wanted. It got me out of my shell and taught me to be more in touch with myself and my emotions. Highly recommend.",
