 The CCT Fall 2006 Academy Class Schedule

    Welcome to CCT’s Fall 2007 Academy! We have so many delightful classes on this page you won’t know what to pick first! We’re offering classes in our two central locations, as well as Pickerington, Dublin and Grove City satellite locations, and as usual, our Fall quarter is divided into two sessions of 5 Saturdays each!
 
  As the 2006 CCT Summer Academy comes to a close and the time for school draws near, don’t forget that your artistic adventure doesn’t have to end with summer! We offer year-round classes tailored to meet the needs of various age groups and interests. Our goal is to encourage your child to explore his or her individual talent while promoting teamwork and building confidence. Our teaching staff is comprised of professional artists and instructors who utilize numerous theatre games, teaching techniques, and creative direction in order to produce a learning environment that is not only fun, but educational! If your children love making friends and have a flair for the dramatic, this may be the place for them!
 
  CCT Academy classes help build self-confidence, imaginative and independent thinking, teamwork skills, and an appreciation of the finer things—all valuable tools which will positively impact your child’s development . We believe in tapping in to a young person’s natural creative abilities, and focusing them toward a common goal of excellence. Our teaching artists are the best in the city, and are expert in drawing out the shy child as well as redirecting the energies of the “drama queen”. We invite you to look over our many class offerings and select the ones which best fit your youngster’s interests and schedule.
 
  If you have any questions or comments about the programming at CCT, please call me at
614-224-6673, or email me at ccteddirector@sbcglobal.net.

There is a $2.00 processing fee for each credit card order.

Financial Assistance:
The CCT Academy offers financial assistance provided by contributions to CCT's Angel Fund from individuals and businesses supportive of the arts. They are awarded on the basis of financial need.

If you sign up for more than one class at the same time, we offer a discount of 5% off when you sign up for two classes, and 10% when you sign up for three classes or more. This discount can be applied to one child taking multiple classes (in one session or in two consecutive sessions) or siblings each taking one class. However, this discount is valid only when you register for all classes at the same time. If you later sign up for an additional class, no discount applies.

We also have a group discount for home-school groups who bring several children to a class. For more information, please call our offices at 224-6673.

If you cancel with less than two days notice, no refund will be given.
CCT reserves the right to cancel classes due to low enrollment. If CCT must cancel a class, we will refund the full class amount.


   Frequently Asked Questions

  Back to Top

     How do I register for class?

• If you have a copy of the brochure, there’s a brief registration form for you to fill out. You can mail this form or fax it to us.
• You can download a
REGISTRATION FORM for CCT Academy from this website and mail or FAX it to us.
• You can call us to register over the phone. Our office number is 224-6673, and we can take calls between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
  

     Do your classes require previous experience?

Unless otherwise noted in the class description, our classes are open to all. Our mission is to provide quality instruction and inspiration to a new generation of theatre artists and theatre enthusiasts. If your child has the desire to be in our classes, that’s what’s important to us.   

     Do parents stay at classes?

On the first day of class, many of our teachers give a brief welcome and announcement to all parents. (You should plan on coming in to the classroom to introduce yourself and sign in your child.) For our youngest students, parents may then stay if their child needs them to stay in the room After the first day, we find children to better when the parent leaves.   

     What is “Creative Drama”?

Like improv classes, creative drama unleashes the power of play and play-making. The games that we use in these classes help teach theatre terms and skills. Our students learn to appreciate theatre, and, ultimately, they discover the magic of creating drama. Within the theme of the various classes, students learn how to use their bodies, voices and imaginations to develop characters and stories for the stage. Creative Drama work enhances self-esteem, creativity and problem-solving activities. The last day of class includes a sharing day for family and friends.
Creative Drama classes require no experience and may be repeated many times.
  

     Does my child get to perform?

On the final day of most classes, the students and their families gather for a “sharing day.” This final performance is informal, and is meant to celebrate what the students have learned in the class. We don’t emphasize “special effects” in this performance: we encourage students to create their own costumes rather than spend any money. Please note that some classes for older students opt not to have a sharing day, and use all of their class time honing their skills.
