Boise Contemporary Theater Classes

Interested, but finding neither of these classes work for you? Fear not! I teach regularly in other places in Boise, and I’d love to see you there.

This fall, I’m also teaching Theater Lab and Stage One at Boise Contemporary Theater, classes where students create their own play, rehearse it, and perform it in a full production. You can find info about that below!

P.S. We also offer Outreach classes, where we will bring the program to you! Contact me here to learn more about that.
