What not to miss this semester!
Discover the exciting world of film and television as you write,
direct, and star in your own videos! Kids use Flynn locations,
onstage and off, to explore the process of digital media
production from both sides of the lens. Find out how acting
for film and television differs from performing live on stage,
then become writers, directors, location scouts, makeup
artists, costume designers and more, working with a
videographer to develop a variety of short films. Shoot a
comedy, star in a drama, or create sound effects for an action
film as our filmmaking team gets ready for a world premiere
of our movies at week’s end. See you on the big screen!

JUDITH LEOPOLD KURTZearned a B.A. in English from
Bryn Mawr College and a M.A. in teaching the arts from
Saint Michael’s College. Kurtz was a professional actor in
Philadelphia, and locally with Vermont Stage Company,
before becoming an educator at Essex High School and
the Flynn Center.
Our theater program emphasizes individual expression, creative choice, and FUN! Children’s classes build sequentially on the basics, while teens and adults can explore specific theater arts in greater depth (and shorter periods of time.) We keep class sizes small so everyone gets personal attention, and vary themes so that each semester challenges returning students as well as new ones. Performance opportunities let students try out their skills in front of supportive audiences of family and friends, and tours of the historic Flynn Theatre, discounts on world-class MainStage performances, and masterclasses with extraordinary visiting artists complement the strong core program.
