Description

One Act Play
Ages 13–18
As exciting as musicals are, plays offer a greater depth of character that actors get to explore throughout the rehearsal process, which is why Jami loves them! Straight play. Big impact. In this performance-based class, she's excited to bring that love to the teens! Students will dive into the world of plays— a story packed with high stakes, rich characters, and powerful moments. Over the course of the session, students will:
  • Explore script analysis and character development
  • Learn how to make bold choices quickly
  • Rehearse and memorize a fully staged play
  • Collaborate closely in small ensemble casts
  • Develop timing, pacing, and emotional truth on stage
Each student will perform in a fully rehearsed  play as part of the end-of-session in-class showcase. Perfect for teen actors ready to stretch their skills, work with strong material, and bring a complete story to life in an afternoon.

Jami Kratz

Jami Kratz is so excited to be teaching at CYT, although her picture might not show it :) She is an energetic, ambitious, bubbly senior at GCU who will graduate with a BA in Theatre Education. She grew up doing theatre within the valley and enjoys all aspects in theatre including being an actor, improviser, scenic designer, electrician, carpenter, and director. She loves teaching her passion to students and getting to bring up the next generation of theatrical artists! As an actor, some of her favorite credits include: Harriet in Emma (Arizona Christian Theatre), Snoopy in You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown (MoezArt Productions), and Miss Lark/Chimney Sweep in Marry Poppins (Ethington Theatre). As a scenic designer, she most recently designed for CYT’s production of Shrek the Musical, and last spring her design of Ethington Theatre’s Ada and the Engine took her to nationals for the KCACTF. She can’t wait to see what God has in store for this season!
