Middle and high schoolers, come get an introduction to the art of writing and performing comedy!

Over this 9 week class, each student will develop and workshop a 5 minute standup comedy routine, as well as working together as a group to write and perform original sketch comedy. At the end of the 9 weeks, we will have a show here at Town Hall Theater open to friends and families to exhibit our work, and we will also go as a group to an open mic at the College Campus to perform our standup sets. This way, students will get an opportunity to perform in front of an audience of strangers. 

We will develop a huge amount of comedic skills from writing collaboratively, to pitching ideas, to stage presence. 

We will NOT be working on improvisation! If you are looking for improv comedy, we will not spend much time on that in this class.

^{In these classes, Master Kellie Thomas (7th Degree Black Belt) will adapt the workouts and techniques to everyone’s needs and abilities focusing on self-defense skills.  Come learn a traditional martial art, get healthy, learn self-defense and most importantly HAVE FUN!!!  Master Thomas is 55 years old and has had 3 hip replacements, 1 knee replacement and has osteoarthritis & fibromyalgia – so she completely understands the need to adapt moves and has created a whole new warm-up, stretches, etc. that can be done using and/or sitting in a chair.}  

"If you ever wonder what it might take to rattle you out of the complaisance and insecurity that comes with aging, spend a few hours with Kellie Thomas. She may be empowering us to confront physical assault, but with her words, her example, and her empathic guidance, she is giving us untold strength to confront our demons: physical, mental, and emotional. It's a roadmap for survival that every senior can embrace."

On this no-school day, come to Town Hall Theater for a full day STEAM camp taught by Carol Buzby!

Have you ever wondered how photographs are taken? In this one day camp, not only will you learn how cameras work, you will get to design, create, and use your own pinhole camera! 

A pinhole camera is a simple lens-less camera- espentially a light proof box with a tiny hole (called an aperature) on one side that projects an inverted, real image of the outside world onto the opposite surface (like a film or screen) due to the rectilinear propogation of light.
