At The Lyric, we believe that combining live performance with arts education can have a lasting impact on young people. Our in-school and after-school programs in theatre, music, and creative writing center on student voice, creativity, and storytelling. This winter, we’re excited to offer two masterclasses that introduce our program and actively engage students.

The Chrysalis Lab:

This course offers performers a dynamic space to build confidence, expand their range and grow more comfortable on stage by helping them discover their unique voice and presence as theater artists. This intensive balances energetic improvisational play and performance reps with reflective dialogue, encouraging students to take artistic risks in a supportive environment that values growth, bravery and joy. The Chrysalis Lab is ideal for both emerging and experienced performers.
