BLOOMINGTON – After a fun-filled summer of camps, Constellation is excited to introduce a robust line-up of fall classes, running September through December! This session, Constellation is rolling out new age groups to better serve our students: Littles (grades K-2), Kids (grades 3-5), Middles (grades 6-8), and Adults (ages 18+). With engaging courses in acting, theater, improv, comedy, and moviemaking, there’s something for everyone!
For Littles, Constellation is bringing back popular offerings, like Theater Playground, but with fresh new themes! Upcoming classes for Littles (grades K-2) include Theater Playground: Pigeons, Piggies, and Pals, Acting Ensemble for Littles: How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Musical Theater Playground: Frozen Forever! Meanwhile, Kids (grades 3-5) will dive into popular shows like Matilda and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Constellation’s new Middles age group (grades 6-8) will have a blast in classes like Acting Ensemble for Middles: Goosebumps: The Haunted Mask, Broadway Bound: Matilda In Concert, and Stranger Scenes & The Upside Down of Acting On Camera.
Constellation’s Education Director, Eric Shelley, is particularly excited about their new Acting on Camera classes for Kids and Middles, both with spooky themes perfect for the Halloween season.
“What excites me most is watching students realize they don’t need elaborate sets or special effects to create believable performances. Their imagination becomes the most important tool they have, and that’s a powerful lesson for any young actor.” Shelley continues, “These classes combine storytelling, creativity, and technology in a way that’s incredibly engaging for young actors. Students will have fun stepping into imaginative worlds while building real acting skills and confidence in front of the camera.”
This fall, Constellation will also offer a number of classes for adults (ages 18+), including the return of popular classes such as Improv: Beginner, Improv: Beyond Beginner, and The Broadway Ensemble. New this session are Acting Techniques: A Practical Survey and The Art of Physical Comedy, perfect classes for beginners or actors looking to sharpen their skills.
Enrollment for all of Constellation’s fall classes is officially open as of July 10. Classes range in price from $115 to $225, depending on the class length and level. Registration is available on Constellation Stage & Screen’s website: seeconstellation.org/education/classes/.
Constellation is committed to increasing access to educational programming by offering scholarships for all classes to students in grades K-12. These scholarships, sponsored by IU Credit Union, allow qualified students to attend a Constellation class at no cost. Information on scholarship applications and eligibility is available here.
