Homeschool Creative Drama: Magic Tree House Adventures

What if you were the one climbing into the tree house? Inspired by the world-traveling tales of Jack and Annie, this class invites students to dream up their own time-traveling, mystery-solving, courage-building adventures. With pens in hand and imaginations in overdrive, build original scenes and characters, then bring them to life through performance. From ancient lands to far-off futures, where will your story take you?

This program is designed for students who want to perform! Performance Workshops emphasize both the journey and the artist. Each actor receives a role in the show, immerses themselves in the rehearsal process, and explores character development through the actor’s toolbox. These fun and engaging productions offer a unique opportunity to build confidence, forge lasting friendships, and deepen your understanding of theatre!
