We can always try again at a later time. Our email address is DramaKidsTexas@gmail.com. Having said that, please know that some children may take as many as 7-8 classes to warm up, learn the routine, realize that our classroom is a safe space where they are not being judged, and become comfortable in their Drama Kids class. Due to the nature of our program, we consider this to be a fair trial period for the student to get acclimated to the program. Oftentimes the most reluctant students are the ones we see blossom the most!

Then, in our speech component, students hone their articulation, projection, and volume control skills. In the creative movement portion, students implement postures, body language, and physical storytelling. In our main lessons, students perform short scenes (either scripted or improvised) to combine their speech and movement skills with their own creativity. Each class concludes with a high-energy activity.

A. At the end of the Spring Semester, students perform a Spring Showcase Presentation. This is a short theatrical performance where students are given the chance to demonstrate the skills they’ve learned in class. Each student gets a character with lines to memorize and uses teamwork to rehearse in class and perform for parents and family at the end of the year.

A. For the comfort of other students, and because we require adults in close proximity with students to be background checked, Drama Kids does not allow parents to observe classes from inside the classroom. However, we have several Parent Participation days throughout the year, which is a great way to experience a class with your child. And of course, your family is invited to watch your child at their Spring Showcase Performance.

A. Absolutely! These classes are offered within our Drama Kids Take 2 Performance Academy, which are held at our most centrally located classroom at St. Mary’s Episcopal.

A. Take 2 Performance Academy is a musical theatre and stage performance program that students take in addition to their weekly Drama Kids Creative Drama or Acting Academy Class. For more information, click here or select “Take 2 Performance Class” under the “Class Schedule” menu.

A. ALL students in our Take 2 Performance Academy must also be registered in and regularly attend a weekly Drama Kids skills class, either Creative Drama or Acting Academy…NO exceptions. These weekly skills classes are crucial to the success of our shows, as this is where our students receive the foundational skills needed to perform an amazing show.

Because every student is taking a weekly skills class in addition to this program, students learn and practice all their basic acting and public speaking skills before entering rehearsal. Then they bring those skills they have learned into rehearsal where instructors encourage student creativity when building a character and foster confidence through singing, dancing, and acting. Instructors never expect perfection but do encourage creativity and fun!
