CTW has been building self-confidence, fostering creative expression, enhancing individual potential and creating professional actors since its doors first opened in 1970. CTW provides a friendly, non-competitive atmosphere where kids learn to work in an ensemble. All cast members are guaranteed an integral role in an original script written by Diane. The scripts are created to enhance and stretch each child’s potential as an actor. The children learn to develop characterizations, memorize lines, stage movement, blocking, diction, projection, cueing and acting techniques. At the end of the workshop students will perform in a professional production complete with costumes, makeup, hair, props, sets, lighting and sound. more
