We may be down, but we are not out!
Northern Starz is starting a DigiDrama program!
This Digital Drama program will include K-12 students and adults wanting to take drama courses online! During this time of unknown circumstances, students will find fun in taking classes in auditioning, acting, improv, Shakspeare and much more! We can get together online to learn vocals and put together small plays! Socdial Distancing won't be a problem, as you and your friends can do this together through your computers!
In lieu of a regular class payment, consider making a donation for these classes. Postponing our annual fundraiser, Pied Piper and Back to the 80's has a huge impact on the budget of a small arts organization like Northern Starz Theatre.
You can make an online donation here.

Auditions Bootcamp
This class is designed for students looking to sharpen their monologue repertoire and theatre audition skills. It is perfect for those who are auditioning for community, school, as well as other performing arts programs. Students will learn how to select audition material, discuss audition techniques, and participate in mock auditions; all while having fun in a small group setting. The goal is for students to leave the class with prepared material and the confidence to do well in their auditions!
Stage Make-Up Exploration
Action packed workshops are open to students, K-12, of all levels. Stage Make-Up Exploration will help you develop the skills to exaggerate, diminish, and create facial features to help an actor portray a character. Students will also have the opportunity to delve into special-effects makeup including bruises, wounds, elderly and fantasy creatures.
Improv
In this fast-paced, creative environment, students learn the fundamentals of improv. They will practice creating stories without scripts or rehearsal using a wide variety of improv techniques, formats, and games. Warning: this art form is highly addictive.
STARZ SUMMERSTOCK
This is a fun time for all! Not only will students be actors in the show; they will also build and paint the sets, create their own costumes, create and pull props, learn tech and for a few lucky students; assistant direct a couple of scenes! This is an all-inclusive opportunity to be creative! The show will be performed for family and friends the last day of class.
