Instructor: Adam DeCoste
Currently the Drama Director at Littleton High School, Adam found his passion for theatre while a student at Littleton Middle School. He continued to be involved in plays and musicals throughout his Littleton High School career, and then studied Theater and Education at Holy Cross. Primarily, Adam has studied acting and directing, but he also has experience in stage management, stage crew, and set building. He has even tried his hand at playwriting, but only a select few have been brave enough to read any of that work. In the summers, Adam has worked as a theatre and acting teacher in programs at The Hanover Theatre and Conservatory in Worcester, and at Theatre in the Open in Newburyport, while also acting in a few shows here and there. Adam is excited to provide a creative outlet for younger students in Littleton through a summer workshop. It will include all of the best improv and theatre games he has learned through the years.

High School Workshop
Students entering 9th-12th grades.
