Foundations of Theatre

Learn the basics of theatre and get your feet wet in the art of performing! During this class, we will work on voice (articulation, inflection, projection, pronunciation), movement and improv.  Students will learn basic theatre vocabulary and etiquette.  They will also focus on different acting techniques.  A Parent Showcase Night, featuring a short play, will happen each semester.  

InSTRUCTOR Joy Henderson

Joy started working with Fire & Light as a stage manager in 2024. Her fascination with theater came from watching her grandmother build her own theater company founded in Christian values. Joy graduated from Blackhawk Christian School in 2023 where she took part in many productions throughout her high school career. Since then, Joy has found a calling in volunteering and working with multiple theater companies around town as show and stage crew, including assistant costumer at her alma mater. When she's not in rehearsals or running to a performance, Joy loves spending time with her cat or helping at her church. Joy finds it fascinating to see how God created everyone with gifts and how beautiful it is to see them being put to use.
