Does your child love to perform—or could they use a little more confidence?
CPP’s Acting Theatre Club is the perfect place for young performers to learn acting skills, build friendships, and discover their voice in a fun, supportive environment. Each session ends with a live showcase where students perform their monologues or group scenes for family and friends!
What Your Child Will Learn
In every session, students develop acting and stage performance skills through engaging lessons, games, and rehearsals.
Topics Include:
Warm-Up Techniques — fun vocal and physical prep to focus and energize
Voice & Breathing — projection, articulation, and vocal confidence
Monologues — solo work to express emotion and storytelling
Scene Work — teamwork, timing, and interaction with others
Pantomime — movement and expression without words
Basic Movement — learning rhythm, coordination, and stage awareness
Vignette Recreation & Characterization — recreating short dramatic or comedic moments
Performance & Stage Presence — polishing confidence and poise
…and much more
Confidence, Creativity & Connection
At CPP, theatre isn’t just about learning lines—it’s about discovering who you are, connecting with others, and finding joy in self-expression.
Every class encourages teamwork, imagination, and self-belief.
Students learn to take direction, trust their instincts, and support one another—essential skills for life, not just the stage.
“Our daughter started out shy, but now she can stand in front of a full audience and deliver a monologue with heart and confidence!”
