ASTORIA The Astor Street Opry Company announces its new theater club for teens ages 14 to 17 (grades 7 to 12) at the ASOC Playhouse, 129 W. Bond St.

The club will meet from 4 to 6 p.m. Tuesday afternoons starting Oct. 8 to explore the craft of theater. Each class will present acting skill development along with a monthly focus on a specific area of theater. From the artistry of stage makeup, set design and lighting, to script writing, budgeting and stage management, teens will gain experience in play production. The first classes will teach stage makeup and hair design just in time for Halloween.

Directors for the club are Heather Ramsdell and Kim Mitchell. Classes will be taught by professional guest instructors and experienced ASOC staff. The cost per student is $10 per month.
