KIDS AND TEEN CLASSES

The world's a stage for your child, and The Human Race is here to help them play their part. There's fun to be had for kids and teens ages 5 – 16.

Classes are held in the Caryl D. Philips Creativity Center, 116 North Jefferson Street in downtown Dayton.

Registration is required at least one week before the first day of class. Open house will be held on the last day of class so that family and friends can share in what the students have been learning. Partial scholarships are available for qualifying families who are in need, thanks to the generous support of the Frank M. Tait Foundation. Download the scholarship application.

Registration for the spring classes is now closed.

Have you ever thought of a courtroom of law as a stage? Lawyers are very much actors in their everyday work and the jury is their audience. Learn about the legal process and famous historical court cases as you role play a variety of infamous characters.
Parents, catch the courtroom action, too. The theme of this class relates to the Loft Series adults-only production of Race, onstage in April.
