Performing arts can be a lifelong passion, so The Human Race has developed a curriculum to cultivate that enthusiasm from childhood through adulthood. Classes are taught by theatre professionals- people who make their living doing what they love and who seek to share their knowledge and experience with others.

We welcome the oldest girl scouts to participate in this new workshop designed to fulfill the requirements of the theatre interest project, (except for the community service hours) and to provide girl scouts with two hours of dramatic activity. This lively workshop will feature bringing a play to life by performing monologues and trying some improvisational scenes that encourage quick thinking on your feet, in addition to some scriptwriting opportunities. Learning about different kinds of theatre stages and possible careers in theatre (onstage and behind the scenes) will also be discussed in this workshop. Please note: At the end of the workshop, girls will be given a list of theatres in the area in order for them to complete their service hours so that all of the requirements for the Theatre Interest Project Award can be met.
