People have been asking us for years. They came to see our family improv show at the Gallery Players. Their child had a Freestyle Rep residency at school. We did an auditorium show at their school. Somewhere, somehow they got a taste of theatre ala Freestyle Rep. Their kids got excited, got interested, wanted more. And the question would always come, "Where can my child do more of this? Where do you teach?"
Now we have an answer!
Mike Durkin and Laura Livingston are teaching theatre at Spoke the Hub Re-creation center in Park Slope, Brooklyn, for children 8 years and older, on Fridays at 4:30. We're doing improvisation, of course. But we won't stop there. This class will introduce serious young thespians to the world of the classical actor's training and trade through stage movement and vocal exercises, scene study, character development, theater games and much more! All we ask is that kids come equipped with a desire to learn and a sense of fun and adventure. This will be a theatrical experience they won't want to miss!
For more information and to sign up, go to www.spokethehub.org/classes/schedule/ and scroll down to "Friday." Or call them at 718-408-3234.
See you there!

The two audience members are helping Diego & Laura in this improvisation, by moving them around as if they were giant action figures.
Dayanara is a student at PS124, where she has studied Shakespeare with Freestyle Rep's artistic director for the past two years! She rang a great alarum bell in their recent performance of the Scottish Play.
