HOMESCHOOL ACTING CLASSES

Unity Theatre is committed to providing high quality theatre experiences that engage people of every age, income level, ethnicity, location, ability, and level of interest. Our professional faculty of experienced teaching artists aims to help others develop their voices, bodies, and minds by teaching theatre skills that will foster relationships, enrich lives, and build community.

Each year Unity Theatre teaches a Homeschool Acting Class Fall Session – Workshop (during the months of October/November) and Homeschool Acting Class Spring – Showcase (during the months of February/March/April) for children ages 9-18, in grades 5-12.

Our homeschool acting classes explore the world of theatre in once-a-week daytime sessions, designed specifically for homeschoolers. These classes culminate in showcases for family and friends.
