What to expect from a kids' theater class

Kids' theater and drama classes in NYC begin around age 3 with creative play and storytelling, and from age 5 or 6 grow into acting, musical theater and improv classes that usually run 45 minutes to 90 minutes and build toward a showcase at the end of the term. A first class is mostly games — warm-ups, improvisation, movement and voice — and no experience is expected. Musical theater programs add singing and simple choreography; some run auditions, but most recreational classes are open enrollment. Comfortable clothes that allow movement are all a child needs to bring.
