NOW ACCEPTING NEW TROUPE MEMBERS FOR 2025-26 SEASON!

Class Description: This Summer DSAMn Advanced Acting troupe will be working on playwriting techniques through language, movement, and other modes of theater creation. We will also start staging an original play written by one of the DSAMN actors.

This class will culminate in a final performance of original work by the students the weekend of May 29-31st 2026.

DSAMn’s Saturday morning acting troupe is a dedicated group of performers with Down syndrome, many of whom have been working together since 2021. Past performances have included original plays written by the students as well as adaptations of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This class is led by theater practitioners and performers Lizz Windnagel and Shelby Richardson.

Skills we work on in this class: collaboration, community building, social skills, focus, context-switching, sequencing, movement, acting, emotional awareness, and more!

We ask that students have taken a theater class with DSAMn in the past or has other theater experience. Please email lizz@dsamn.org with any questions.

Cost: $125.00 per session
