Luna Stage Announces Winter Classes: Now open for enrollment
West Orange-based professional theatre Luna Stage is now
enrolling for virtual winter classes for youth and adults, including
scene study, on-camera acting, voiceover, screenwriting, musical theatre,
audition technique, playwriting, improv and more. All programs are
pay-what-you-wish to support creativity in this time of pandemic, and taught by
professional theatre artists. Space is limited, and classes start January 4.
In addition to a full slate of after school and weekend classes, Luna also offers the unique Play-In-Your-Pod program, featuring custom-designed workshops and classes for existing small groups. Information about all classes and programs is available at www.lunastage.org/winterclasses.
“Being in Luna
Stage classes has been a bright spot in the pandemic, opening up new creative
opportunities,” said one student. “The classes become a community.”
Classes for
elementary schoolers include Improv, Musical Theatre, Undersea Adventure and
Space Odyssey.
Teen programs
include Improv, Musical Theatre, On-Camera Acting, Playwriting, Scene-Study,
Voiceover Technique, Audition Workshop, Shakespeare, Solo-Show Workshop, and
Filmmaking.
Adult options
include Musical Theatre, Scene Study, Audition Workshop, and Writers’ Workshop:
The 10-Minute Play.
“We are
grateful to be able to create ongoing opportunities for creativity and
connection, to provide what one student described as the 'brightest spot in the
pandemic,' and to serve our local community while reaching students from as far
away as California and Panama," said Luna Stage Artistic Director Ari
Laura Kreith. "Our students are creating such extraordinary work and
our teaching artists amaze me every day with their ability to inspire, engage,
and build community in the virtual world.”
Some Luna
classes offer participants the opportunity for public performance of their work
as well as online community and learning. Luna’s recent Shortest of
Plays for the Shortest of Days festival features work created in the
10-Minute Playwriting and Voices Across America Solo Show workshops.
“I feel indebted to Luna and your 10-minute play
classes,” wrote one student. “They have been a light through the pandemic
darkness.” 10-Minute Playwriting will be among the courses offered for
adults this winter.
Since Spring of 2020, Luna has offered more than 700
hours of classes across 32 different content areas. As part of Luna’s
commitment to accessibility and equity, all programs are pay-what-you-wish.
Families can donate what feels comfortable, full scholarships are available,
and no one will be turned away for lack of funds. All tuition directly supports
the artists teaching these innovative programs.
