Flock Theatre announces the continuation of its "conservatory-style" actor training program. The Acting Institute, now entering its fifth year, trains young and old alike in the art of acting.  We start with the basics and build from there, giving each student a chance to explore the art of acting at their own rate, and with their peers.  Done in a fun, creative and supportive environment, each student is given skills, and an appreciation for theatre, all of which are sure to last a lifetime! 

Classes take place in New London’s First Congregational Church,

Most classes begin the week of September 18th

***This class begins Tuesday, October 30th.  This is a six-week course. ***

Whether you're working on monologues, scenes, or just getting over public speaking fears, the process-oriented class, catered to the individual, is designed to free up the actor's focus, and to help him or her rediscover the art of "play" within the play.

This is Flock’s Introduction to Acting class and is a fun and energetic introduction to the process of acting.  Students will build their confidence and stage awareness through basic focus exercises, improvisations, monologues and a variety of games and activities.

This class continues the work begun in Introduction to Acting, and teaches students character development using scenes from modern plays.  Designed to push young actors to new levels of understanding acting in a fun and supportive way

***This class begins Wednesday, October 3rd.  This is a six-week course. ***

This new Acting Institute offering is designed to introduce youngsters to the fun and excitement of theatre and acting.  Using the children’s story Shadowville the students will create shadow puppets and turn this tale into a shadow play.  This unique, six-week session is designed to be fun and fast paced, all the while helping the young students discover the art in themselves.

A beginning acting class designed to meet the needs of teens and young adults.  This class helps to stretch the teen actor to  explore new levels of interpersonal dynamics as they build their acting skills, and hone their craft through the use of mental focus exercises, improvisation and monologues.

A class designed to train actors in the art of both singing and acting a song.  This class will focus on vocal technique and song presentation while using pieces from popular Broadway musicals.  When not meeting as a class, students will schedule a time for individual appointments.
