Classes

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!  Social 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.

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.

Dates: Saturday June 6 & June 13

Time: 9am-12pm

(Minimum of 5 to hold class)

Price: $110 per student 

People will complain about anything — not almost anything, but absolutely anything! 

In this rapid succession of hysterical grievances, the complaint department takes on everything from Oreo icing to kleptomania and from songs stuck in the head to the price of cheese and on and on and on.  Could there be a glimmer of hope for anyone in charge of a complaint department? 

Each character not only airs their own grievances but must also focus on someone else’s problem and assist them with their complaint.  All the roles are extremely balanced to give everyone their moment in the spotlight.  

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. 

Dates: M-F June 15-19 and June 22-26

Grades: 5-12

Time: 9am-3pm

Price: $210 per student (Minimum of 5 to hold class, Maximum of 15)
