This is the class for students who want to be in the Movies and/or love improv!
Students enjoy the art of improv and comedy while learning basic acting techniques and developing valuable life skills such as confidence, leadership, team building, inclusion, creativity, public speaking, and many more. Students also have the opportunity to learn how to act for the camera. As many of you know, Sears Studio has connected with local film and television producers who are growing their home base for Hallmark and Lifetime movies in our area. This class will address any students interested in preparing for opportunities/auditions in the local film and TV industry. Please note that this curriculum is for preparing and understanding the business basics, but it is not a class that promises auditions, roles, or agents.

Who Are We?
We are a community of families who support student artists of all ages and backgrounds Our program is built on fostering talent with strong leadership, excellent work ethic, teamwork, positivity, joy, passion, inclusivity, and encouragement Our oldest students take on leadership positions, role model, teach and encourage the younger generation The younger students benefit from the experience of older students while also finding their value and equal place in the learning environment As storytellers, being involved in professional plays, films, and commercials requires actors to embrace and value working with various ages and backgrounds Our students are all challenged appropriately by their unique talents and individual experience levels while benefiting from opportunities to lead and to follow- and to enjoy the benefits of encouraging others and the delight of being supported Sears Studio is committed to teaching to the whole child-a child who learns to live the way of the artist is a child who plans for the future with wisdom and imagination!
