Constellation Stage & Screen Announces Fall ‘24 Educational Programming, Featuring New Ensemble-Based Classes

After a fun-filled summer of camps, Constellation is thrilled to kick off the school year with a robust line-up of fall classes, running September through December. With after school, evening, and weekend options for Littles (grades K-2), Kids (grades 3-6), Teens (grades 7-12), and Adults (ages 18+), there is a little something for everyone. As a fresh take on previous class formats, Constellation is excited to offer ensemble-focused classes that celebrate the collaborative and community-building nature of the performing arts.  
 
This fall, each ensemble-based class will be working on material from a specific show or genre. Classes include Treasure Island for Littles, Acting Ensemble for Kids: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Broadway Kids Chorus, Found Footage Filmmaking for Teens, and Musical Theater Workshop: The Broadway Ensemble for Adults, and more.
 
Constellation’s Education Director, Eric Shelley, has seen first-hand the impact of his programming. “Getting a front-row seat to students’ artistic journeys from week to week allows me to witness personal growth of the individual as well as the ensemble as a whole. Whether it’s a class of 1st graders or a class of adults, the communities being built within the walls of Constellation Studios have a strong and enriching collaborative foundation resulting in more confidence, composure, and authentic self-expression across the board.” ​

Constellation is committed to increasing access to educational programming, offering scholarships on all classes for students grades K-12. These scholarships are sponsored by IU Credit Union and allow qualified students to attend a Constellation class at no cost to them. Information on scholarship application and eligibility can be found here. 

In addition to ensemble-based classes, Constellation is offering a variety of comedy, improv, and acting classes for all ages. Classes range in price from $115-$225, depending on the length and level of the class. Registration can be found on Constellation Stage & Screen’s website: https://seeconstellation.org/education/classes/. For questions about programming, please contact Eric Shelley at [email protected].
