Description

This character development class builds toward an immersive murder mystery where everyone becomes a suspect.

Students create bold, believable characters using voice, movement, motivation, and relationships, then put them to the test in a fast-paced mystery full of secrets, accusations, and twists. You’ll boost confidence, sharpen performance skills, and learn to think on your feet as the story unfolds in real time. 

**April 28, May 5, and May 12 are mandatory, and all students must attend for the murder mystery to work.**
