Improv
Improv is a dynamic and creative after-school class where students spontaneously create scenes, characters, and stories without a script. It encourages quick thinking, collaboration, and confidence as they respond to prompts and suggestions from both their peers and an audience. Participants learn to think on their feet, develop comedic timing, and explore their imagination in a supportive and playful environment. Middle school improv fosters teamwork, communication skills, and a sense of humor, making it a fun and valuable extracurricular activity for young adolescents.
Addams Family Young@part
n the kooky, upside-down world of the Addams Family, to be sad is to be happy, to feel pain is to feel joy, and death and suffering are the stuff of their dreams. Nonetheless, this quirky family still has to deal with many of the same challenges faced by any other family, and the spookiest nightmare faced by every family creates the focus of Lippa, Brickman, and Elice’s musical: the Addams kids are growing up. The Addamses have lived by their unique values for hundreds of years, and Gomez and Morticia, the patriarch and matriarch of the clan, would be only too happy to continue living that way. Their dark, macabre, beloved daughter Wednesday, however, is now an eighteen-year-old young woman who is ready for a life of her own. She has fallen in love with Lucas Beineke, a sweet, smart boy from a normal, respectable Ohio family — the most un-Addams sounding person one could be! And to make matters worse, she has invited the Beinekes to their home for dinner. In one fateful, hilarious night, secrets are disclosed, relationships are tested, and the Addams family must face up to the one horrible thing they’ve managed to avoid for generations: change.
