Event Description

Have you ever wanted to perform but never had the chance?

The AUDACITY Intensive is a 5-day theatre immersion designed for adults who are curious about the stage—no experience required. Whether you've always dreamed of performing, want to build confidence in your voice and body, or simply need a creative outlet, this program is for you.

This isn't about becoming a professional actor. It's about getting in your body so you can present your most raw and authentic self.

WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCE

Day 1 | Finding Your Breath Ensemble building, grounding exercises, and the fundamentals of vocal and physical presence. We start by learning to breathe together.

Day 2 | Finding Your Voice Singing for non-singers, monologue exploration, and discovering what your voice wants to say. No experience necessary—just willingness.

Day 3 | Finding Your Body Movement, rhythm, dance fundamentals, and scene work. Learn how your body tells stories.

Day 4 | Adult Field Day Yes, really. Three-legged races, egg and spoon relays, tug of war, sack races, water balloons, and an awards ceremony with ribbons. Play like you did when you were 10. Then we rehearse for the showcase.

Day 5 | Dessert Theatre Showcase Your moment. Invite your people. We open with a dessert reception, then you take the stage—solos, duets, scenes, and group numbers. This is your celebration.
