We believe it is never too early to
introduce your child to the fun and
creativity of the theatre arts. The
theatre arts can help a child with
self-confidence, organizational skills,
memorizing, public speaking,
teamwork, discipline, social skills and
accomplishing goals.
And it's fun too!
We are thrilled to offer classes in Movement, Acting, Singing, Dancing, and Improv for children ages 3 to 14. Under the supervision of the two founders of the company, all CKC classes are taught by Chicago theatre professionals with years of experience.
Each class is held once a week for 8 weeks and ends with a final presentation, recital, or performance. Sign up your child today...space is limited for all classes.
List of Classes
Creative Movement and Play
This class introduces your child to theatre through creative movement and
play. We will play theatre games and incorporate props, costumes,
rhythm and movement to create fun characters and act our stories using
our own imaginations.
Pre-K
Character Creation
If you love to pretend to be a prince or princess, monsters, or evil queen…this
class is for you. We will explore the basics of acting through character
creation. We will play theater games focusing on movement and expression. We
will take the characters we create in class and use our imagination to
improvise scenes and make up stories as our various characters. There
will be a final showcase of our scenes.
Grades K-2
Speeches! Vocalizations! Monologues!
If you enjoy telling stories, acting and entertaining your friends and
family or want to build confidence for speaking and performing in front
of an audience, this is the class for you. You will get to rehearse
and perfect a one-minute monologue specially selected for you. You
will leave this class with an audition-ready monologue and the confidence
to get out there and use it! There will be a final showcase of monologues
and speeches.
Grades 3-5
Jr. Broadway Performers
This class is offered as an introduction to Musical Theater. We will
learn basic theatre dance moves, work with a vocal coach, and learn
basic musical theatre performance techniques. We’ll perform
songs & dances
from such Broadway shows as "Wicked", "Annie", "Oklahoma",
and other great classic shows. There will be a final showcase of
songs and dances.
Grades 6-9
Scenes from Screen I and II
If you like acting and aspire to perform on screen, this is the class for
you. This class will focus on the differences between acting for
television and screen versus performing on the stage. We will rehearse
