4th - 5th Grade Play

Night At The Field Museum

Step into the Spotlight – and the World of The Field Museum!

Get ready to act, imagine, and shine in this series of short plays set based on Mudlark’s Mainstage Production of “That’s How Long I Want To Be Your Friend”, which takes place at the Field Museum! In this highly engaging class, young artists will build their Actor Toolkit through exciting games, creative exercises, and hands-on scene work. You'll explore unforgettable characters, strengthen your ensemble skills, and present a brand-new play. Unleash your creativity, grow your confidence, and perform in a tale full of heart, humor, and adventure.

Attendance Policy: Being active and present in the rehearsal room is essential for each actor’s growth and for the success of the ensemble. Our rehearsal process includes limited rehearsal time, making consistent attendance crucial. If an actor misses more than two rehearsals, Mudlark reserves the right to initiate a conversation with the actor and their family about whether this process is the right fit.
