Students will participate in a hands-on, interactive theater experience that will deal with writing, improv, acting and creating scenery.  The instructor, Chad Patterson, will take his 20 years experience in working with elementary, middle and high school kids and apply it to giving students a wonderful introduction to the stage that will hopefully spark a lifelong love with theater.
