Students ages 10 to 17 who wish to explore acting have the chance to peek behind the curtain into the world of theater at WVU’s Summer Acting Academy.

The Academy will be a week-long professional training program held June 22-26 at the Creative Arts Center on the WVU Evansdale Campus.

Open to students of all levels of theater experience, the academy includes classes in acting, movement, monologues, voice and speech, character masks, improvisation, stage combat and rehearsal/production.

All classes will be led by WVU School of Theatre and Dance faculty, and guest artists. Enrollment is limited, so that each student will receive training specifically geared to his or her experience level. The program culminates in a student showcase presentation at the Creative Arts Center on June 26.

A copy of the registration form is available on the website. Students should register by June 8, 2015 to guarantee enrollment.
