What not to miss this semester!
Do your palms sweat and knees knock when it’s your turn
to speak? Time to acquire coping skills for your 15 minutes
of fame? Help is at hand! Gain comfort and confidence in
your ability to address large and small groups on any subject
in this relaxed course tailored to the presentation scenario
most relevant for each student. Fun activities stimulate
discussion and relieve anxiety. Class covers public speaking,
use of a microphone, and even spicing up a PowerPoint
presentation. Whether you are a teacher, business-person,
or an auditioning actor, this class provides a supportive
forum for upgrading your presentational prowess.

MARGOT BUTTON earned a M.A. in music and opera
performance from Boston Conservatory and a diploma in
dramatic presentation from the New Zealand Academy of
Performing Arts. She has taught dramatic presentation
and voice at Boston Conservatory and has appeared widely
as a soloist.
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.
