Class Description: A new twist on theater in the park! This brand new class combines theater training with an outdoor Challenge and Ropes Course. Stay in character (and on your toes!) in this collaborative, exciting, and fun theater adventure program.
Program Type: Our *NEW* Summer Stage Weekend class focuses on process. Students will explore characterization and ensemble building through experiential based learning and improvisation.
Pick Up/Drop Off Information: The entire program will take place at the MSCR Kennedy Park Challenge Course, which is located adjacent to Kennedy Park located on Madison’s Eastside. CTM families may NOT use the parking lot of Kennedy Elementary, not even for drop off/pick up quickly. Instead, families should pick up and drop off on Coach House Drive. Pick up and drop off will happen in the MSCR Welcome Center, where students and families will be met by the CTM teaching staff each day.
# of Students in Class: Typically between 13-15 students. In each program, there is 1 CTM professional teaching artist, 1-2 MSCR challenge and ropes course staff, 1 college aged
