• Anthony’s Drama Club (Grades 2 – 5)

  Building on what we’ve done this year, while welcoming newcomers to the club, we will explore storytelling through the lens of theater: how can you tell a story with more than just words? We’ll explore movement, dance, music, and self-expression. Students will practice skills like public speaking, projection, and creativity to improve stage presence and confidence. And we’ll have a lot of fun! Anthony Allocca is a Theater Education major at Emerson College in Boston. He has directed, produced, and choreographed children’s theater in New Jersey and Massachusetts. An avid director of musical theater, much of his work targets younger viewers through the Theater for Young Audiences at Emerson. Anthony has worked with our Extended Day team and spent summer 2022 at Brimmer Camp!
