What if your toys came to life? Let your imaginations soar as you become some of your favorite toys from various animated films like Toy Story and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. We’ll be singing You’ve Got a Friend in Me, The Island of Misfit Toys, I Can’t Let You Throw Yourself Away and more. Learn how to speak, sing and dance for an audience. Find your voice and build confidence as you learn to speak and sing clearly…all the way to the BACK ROW! Coordinate your body and create dance moves that reveal character.  There will be a performance of the songs from the class on the last day of class, Tuesday, March 7th at 4:30pm; at the end, each actor will take their professional bow!
