Each class of this introductory workshop will begin with a story that we will read together.  Then we will explore different ways to turn that story into a stage performance:  acting it out with pantomime, making puppets, or creating a soundtrack to accompany the words.  This fun and relaxed workshop is a perfect way for first graders to dip their toes in and try out drama!
