CTK’S WEEK-LONG SUMMER INTENSIVE CLASSES
_________________________________________
KCT will offer a full range of creative dramatics this summer. Our summer classes are structured around a week-long intensive schedule. Each class will meet Monday through Friday for three hours a day. The classes will culminate in a “workshop” presentation for family and friends at the end of the week. The classes are divided into three levels of acting experience. Class size is small so that individual instruction and growth is possible for each student. The cost for the week is $230 per student. Each student will receive 2 complimentary tickets to a KCT show upon completion of the class.
