Class Description: What are your toys really thinking when you aren’t there? Inspired by the popular Toy Story series, create characters based on classic or original toys!

Program Type: Our one-week programs focus on process over product. The theater skills gained will not only prepare them for a final showcase, but also prepare them for life! Students will:
- Build acting, performance, & theater skills
- Participate in a collaborative theater-making process based on the theme of the class
- Gain confidence, empathy, & a sense of community
- Practice communication, flexibility, focus, & perseverance
- Take risks in a supportive environment & learn from mistakes

Pick Up/Drop Off Information: The program takes place at Bethel Lutheran Church (312 Wisconsin Avenue, Madison). CTM families may NOT use the parking lot. They must find parking elsewhere and walk their child to the building. Pick up and drop off will happen in the parking lot foyer, where students and families will be met by CTM teaching staff. There will be a brief orientation on the first day.
