FAQ
What time should I arrive?
Adult students can arrive up to ten minutes before their class begins. They should enter through the south facing lobby doors. A teaching artist will be there to let you in.
What if a student needs to miss a class?
We understand life happens! You do not need to let us know if you'll miss a class. Refunds cannot be made for missed classes.
May others sit in and watch the class?
Adult classes are closed to the public.
Will there be a performance at the end of classes?
All class descriptions contain information about final presentations. Some classes have a sharing day on the last day of class for family and friends that may wish to observe. Not every class will present a play or other performance on sharing day. If a performance is planned for sharing day, it is intended to be very informal and almost always done without lights, sets, props or costumes.
