The Long Beach Playhouse (LBP) will offer Acting Entourage, a year-round youth theater school for children in grades 3 through 12, each Saturday beginning on Jan. 22, divided into three five-week sessions.Â
Children in grades 3 through 5 will meet from 10am to 11am. Classes for grades 6 through 8 will meet from 11:30am to 1pm, and high-school students will meet from 1:30pm to 3pm. In addition to the Saturday classes, LBP also offers a summer youth theatre program.Â
Lysa Fox, an experienced actress, director, teacher and recent master’s graduate of Cal State Long Beach, will coordinate and teach the Long Beach Acting Entourage.
“Theatre skills are life skills,” Fox said. “It is a fact that children who have arts in their lives tend to excel in other areas and are often leaders in one form or another later in life. Acting, on its base level, is about communication and expression. The most incredible thing about these life skills is that they are taught through playing. That is what makes theatre unique and truly life-changing.” Â
