Storybook Homeschool Program
Storybook is happy to hold a daytime program specifically for homeschooled students.
Storybook's skills classes have been designed to help your child learn core acting. Whether your child is shy or not, this class will be an encouraging and fun environment to learn and grow together. We suggest this as a great beginner class for the student who is unsure about acting, but also for the experienced student with several past productions on their theatrical resume, as we will cover skills and topics such as body language, facial expressions, character work, projection, pronunciation, diction, and more. These are skills that do not always come naturally, but will help the student in their growth in the acting world!
During the 9 weeks of class, the students will incorporate what they’ve learned into a 10 minute showcase performance (performed during the final class in this session).
Acting Essentials
Skills Classes will return in the Spring Semester!
Storybook Performance Classes
If a student's birthday to be the correct age for the class falls during the current semester,
they are eligible to participate. It is helpful for students to be able to read, but not required.
Details for each production can be found below!
Each play performance class has rehearsal for 8-9 weeks. Musicals run for a longer number of weeks.
Please read full schedule of rehearsals and performances before registering.
Each student who registers will receive a speaking role in the production unless they specifically request otherwise.
Registration will close when the maximum number of participants has been reached.
Auditions on the first day of class will determine part distribution.
No previous acting experience required to participate.
Students may participate in both a play and a musical if desired.
Performance day call time is 2.5 hours prior to performance.
Parents will be asked to help during tech week by running ticket/concession sales, providing supplies, and assisting as needed. It is MANDATORY to help with strike (cleanup) after the close of each performance.

Show Description:
In this kooky spoof of TV courtroom dramas, Amanda Marie Locks, known as Goldilocks or even “Goldie,” is on trial for breaking and entering and destruction of private property.
A wide cast of fairytale characters serve as witnesses for the prosecuting and defense attorneys. To hear the Bare family tell it, Goldie should be found guilty. But an unscrupulous judge and a slew of unreliable witnesses — including a blind witch, a forgetful old woman who lives in a shoe, a dwarf with a nasty disposition, a skittish tuffet-tester, and a country boy so dumb he’d trade beans for a cow — make it hard to build a case against the gal with the golden hair.
With so much conflicting testimony, no wonder the results are courtroom chaos! The entire justice system is left in silly shambles in this slapstick one-act designed for laughs.
