Applause! Players class is offered for students on the autism spectrum. Since theatre by nature is social, collaborative, and a form of play, our goal is to use theatre skills as a tool to help students with autism in the areas of social interaction and communication. 

The Applause! Players class uses theatre games, pantomime, and storytelling to develop social skills, collaborate with instructors and peers, and develop leadership skills while working together in a creative based classroom setting. Classes meet during the school year, culminating in a final showcase of skills in April as part of Autism Awareness Month.

This class meets Wednesday of each week from 4:30-5:20pm.

This class meets Thursdays of each week from 4:30-5:20pm.

This theatre school class focuses on training in acting, voice, and music, with a rehearsal period that leads to a performance of “The Nutcracker and the Mouseking”! This is a play adaptation and will focus more on the story than the ballet we know so well. 

No experience is necessary; however students are expected to be committed and will be held to a high level of professionalism. Classes will take place on Monday through Thursday, from 4:30pm-6:30pm. (There will be a break the week of Thanksgiving!)

Performance: December 17th 6:00pm (& Potential 7:30pm)

A complete rehearsal breakdown of the schedule will be handed out once the rehearsal process gets underway. 

Please note: Students must be available for the performance on Dec 17. Please email education@mctmidland.org for questions.
