The Creative Drama Workshop will meet once a week for six weeks.

Led by professional actor, director, and teacher Mr. Albert Insinnia, the workshop will guide participants through theatre games, structured improvisations, and relaxation exercises. Activities are designed to inspire exploration of characters, circumstances, and environments. As the weeks progress, exercises will be selected to match the growth of both individuals and the group.

The goal is not to train actors, but to use the creative drama process to nurture imagination, confidence, and individuality—within a positive, creative atmosphere.

Mr. Insinnia brings a wealth of experience, having led creative drama workshops and classes throughout his career. In this workshop, he will share insights gained from Theatre Games for the Classroom by Viola Spolin, as well as lessons learned from some of the finest drama teachers in the country.
