Who teaches the classes?

All classes are taught by Courtenay Harrington-Bailey. Courtenay is a transplant from New York City where she worked as a professional actress for many years. A member of Actor's Equity Association, she holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music and Theatre Arts and has performed for audiences across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. In addition to teaching Dramafun, Courtenay teaches caregiver/child "Music Together" classes at Meryl's Music and Arts Center in Sandwich and "Music Together" preschool classes at Cape Cod Child Development's universal pre-k programs all over the Upper Cape.  Courtenay has also taught music and drama at The Bridgeview School in Sagamore, The Sandwich Independent Day School in Sandwich, and Fair Acres Country Day School in Marstons Mills.  Courtenay's goal is to provide a positive, safe, and fun environment for your child to explore his/her dramatic self.

Where are classes held?
Dramafun! classes are currently held at Meryl's Music and Arts Center  located in Merchant's Square in Sandwich, Massachusetts and at Tumble Time Gymnastics in Pocasset, Massachusetts.  Our studios are large, bright, open spaces that lend themselves well to the active nature of our classes.  On our "sharing" days we transform these spaces to look more like a theatre. 

Class Descriptions:

Creative Movement:   This class is appropriate for children who are 4 and not quite ready for a "drop off" program.  Class length is 45 fun-filled minutes of games, music, and movement that enhance creativity and imagination.  Parents may stay to join the fun or drop off.

Creative Drama I:   This class is appropriate for children ranging in age from 4-6.  Class length is 45 minutes and is very active in nature.  Creative Drama I at Dramafun! may include dramatic play, story enactment, imagination journeys, theatre games, puppetry, music, and dance.  Emphasis is placed on process rather than product and creative thinking is encouraged!  Family and friends are invited to observe our class in progress on the last day.

Creative Drama II:   This class is appropriate for children ranging in age from 6-9.  Class length is one hour.  Creative Drama II at Dramafun! may include dramatic play, story enactment, imagination journeys, theatre games, puppetry, music, and dance.  Creative Drama II students will also explore basic acting techniques and showcase their work in a final performance and may be asked to perform with The Dramafun Players.

The Dramafun Players:   The Dramafun! Players is a performance oriented class for enthusiastic, dedicated young actors ranging in age from 9-12.  We will create original plays adapted from children's literature, compose our own music, and share our work with the community.  Class will meet once a week for one hour but extra rehearsals may be added as needed.
