Open call for princesses, mythical creatures, knights and villains in this Storybook Workshop with Anne Lilly! Students will read modern Fairy Tales and exciting children’s books with all sorts of magical themes. We will then become a theatrical troupe of actors and act out a favorite story. Each actor will get to play the role that lights up their imagination the most. By using funny voices, exciting movement staging, and lines from the stories, young actors will become big Storybook stars!
