2011-2012 Adult Education Program
Steps to the Stage Raleigh Little Theatre is pleased to present adult acting classes designed to take students through the process of preparing for the stage. The adult theatre classes offer the same commitment to excellence found in the Youth Education Program where the goal is to provide high quality theatre arts training in a safe nurturing environment. We believe that theatre arts training extends well beyond the stage as well by promoting self esteem, building confidence, stimulating creativity, sharpening communication skills and fostering an appreciation of teamwork. It’s also a lot of fun! If you have any questions, please call or email me. Linda O’Day Young Enrollments: Send in the registration form (except for Apex classes) See who's on the faculty
