Your Studio's First Theatre Class

Plan it, staff it, and price it in one afternoon. A free working session for dance studio owners. Leave with your first theatre class planned on one page: who it's for, who teaches it, what it costs, and how many students it takes to make sense.

Hosted by Donna Clark; Drama Club Mama®

Live on ZOOM; Can't make 12pm? Registrants get replay until November 22

📣 Sound Familiar?

Your families
keep asking about
theatre.

You have the room, the families and a recital every spring.

A student asks when you're doing a show. A parent asks if you have a theatre or acting class.

You'd love to say yes. Then the questions start.

Who would teach it? What happens in class on a Tuesday? What do you charge, and how many students does it take to pay?

And underneath them: you know how to run a dance studio. What if you don't know enough about theatre to make this work?

So it stays on the someday list.

💡 The Fix

Start with one class.

The studios that get theatre working start small: one age group, one class, a short show at the end.

A teacher you already trust leads it, with a plan to follow.

Performance is a life skill. Your dancers already have the stage. This class gives them the acting.

In this workshop, we plan that one class together, one decision at a time.

❤️ WHO'S TEACHING IT?

"Performance is a life skill"

I'm Donna Clark, founder of Drama Club Mama®. Producer, director and writer, with more than 20 years directing child performers.

In 2008 I started my own after-school theatre programs in the Coppell area: CAST (Creative After School Theatre) and Texas Creative Arts Academy. I ran them for over 16 years. They brought in more than $1 million in tuition.

I wrote my own scripts and lessons because I couldn't find ones that worked. They became Drama Club in a Box®: a week-by-week curriculum and royalty-free scripts written for studio casts.

I've spoken to studio owners at the Dance Studio Owners Association (DSOA) and Gold Dance Life conferences.

Now I help studio owners build theatre programs of their own.
