In each 6-week session, class members will have the opportunity to explore acting and performance skills. This is a great class for those who are looking to discover new ways of self-expression through their bodies, mind, and voices!  All ages are welcome as we focus on improvisation in these first two week sessions. Improvisation is often referred to as “Yes, and…”  As actors become comfortable with improvisation, they find it helps in so many aspects of life; learning to pivot easily in certain situations, talking with friends or family who have dementia or other memory issues, and dealing with their own stress as they find an oftentimes, humorous release.

The Mauldin Cultural Center has always been a welcoming space for the performing arts. In 2017, the facility became home to the newly established Mauldin Youth Theatre as they produced their inaugural play, Disney’s The Lion King, JR. Now, our performing arts schedule, under the Mauldin Theatre Company, is expanding to include more youth theatre, musical revues, and a community theatre for both adult and youth actors!
