Teens & Young Adults
ages 13 +
For this age group, in addition to doing a more advanced
warm up, we would hope to start looking at some classical
plays. Most classical texts were written to be performed, not
read silently and I hope to inspire young people to find the joy and fun in classical texts and not be afraid of them.
