Woodbridge Sponsors Child Actor Training

Woodbridge Township continues to branch out into new creative spheres. The township is sponsoring weekly theatre sessions for kids who've been bitten by the acting bug.

The cost for the training is $100 per child, and the classes meet on Saturdays at the Woodbridge Middle School from April 6 through June 1.

Children as young as 7 years old are being recruited for the classes, taught by Ana Barokova, who has a liberal arts degree from Rutgers and has 20 years of performing arts experience.

The classes are supposed to focus on "training skills such as concentration, confidence, reading text with comprehension, physical plasticity and balance and expressive imagination."

Two classes will meet each Saturday. The first, for children from ages 7 to 9, from 10 am to 12:30 pm; the second class, for kids from 10 to 14 years old who will meet from 1 to 3 pm.

Each group will be involved with a play that will be performed in front of an audience and filmed for view on Woodbridge's public access channel.

The Woodbridge Recreation Department is handling the registration. Parents can fill out the registration form at this link.
