Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater announces its lineup of Winter classes featuring classes catered to families, theater lovers, students, adults and emerging theater artists. The Voices of Now Mead Ensemble for young artists will begin this winter, meeting virtually to contribute to a new original film. Just in time for the holidays, this robust line of programming has something for everyone and makes the perfect unique gift for the theater lover in your family. “We are finding that people of all ages are responding with joy and energy to our virtual classes. There are so many ways to be engaged in these programs — whether you are a theater lover or a theater practitioner, there is something for you,” shares Director of Community Engagement and Senior Artistic Advisor Anita Maynard-Losh. Arena is excited to debut two new categories of classes: Family Creativity Workshops and Classes for Theater Lovers. Family Creativity Workshops are designed to connect family members through the means of theatrical games, visual art and imagination. These classes are led by Arena’s Director of Education, Ashley Forman and friends. These exhilarating classes are the perfect opportunity for families to engage and explore creative expression and collaboration.
