Wolf Theatre Academy

At the Wolf  Theatre Academy, we set the highest standards for our faculty and students. Our students work with seasoned theatrical professionals who are also versed in the art of theatre education. Our students grow through encouragement in an environment that supports their development as individuals and as artists.Age-appropriate programming allows younger children to focus on play, fun, creation and fantasy, while older students learn the skills that will enable them to approach demanding dramaticmaterial with ease.

• Creative Dramatics (Creative play for preschoolers and first graders)
• Beginning Dramatics (Beginning drama for grades 1–3)
• Performance Workshops (Beginning/intermediate performance class for grades 3–12)
• Production and Performance Classes (Fully mounted production for grades 6–12); this year this production will be held in our smaller Pluss Theatre due to the renovation of our large theatre space.

Call (303) 316-6360 for more information or to register for any Wolf Theatre Academy program.

Auditions:

Our fall musical, Pippin, requires an audition before enrollment. There is never a fee required before the audition. Tuition is only due after a successful audition and casting; before or on the first rehearsal. All auditions require an appointment, so please call (303) 316-6360.

Class Cancellations:

If a class is cancelled due to a teacher’s illness or inclement weather, parents will be notified immediately by phone. If scheduling allows, a make-up class will be offered at the convenience of the teacher and students.

Renovation/Construction of The Elaine Wolf Theatre:

Many of you know that due to a generous gift from Elaine Wolf, our main stage theatre space (formerly The Shwayder Theatre) is receiving a significant renovation. Our new space will include a mezzanine level with additional seating, a new accessible aisle in the orchestra, a new stage floor, as well as new lighting and sound systems.Construction will take place during the fall semester, so the theatre will be unavailable for our classes and productions. Also note, that our lobby space will be undergoing a big transformation, so please pardon our mess. Weekly updates regarding the construction will be posted on our website (www.maccjcc.org).We eagerly anticipate the opening of the beautiful Elaine Wolf  Theatre which will be ready to host student productions in the summer of 2012.
