General information and policies

Our Teaching Philosophy: Coterie theatre classes are focused on process rather than product. We are committed to providing educational experiences that challenge the child as audience and artist.

Instructors: Coterie instructors are theatre professionals – actors, designers and directors – who teach under the leadership of Jeff Church, artistic director, and Nancy Marcy, education director.

Class Size: We strive to keep classes small enough that all students are able to participate and learn. Early enrollment is suggested.

Discounts: All Coterie Family Friends Members receive a 20 percent discount on classes at Crown Center. See enrollment form for membership levels. A Family Friends membership packet detailing full membership benefits is available here or by calling (816) 474-6552. Students who attended a Coterie 2007 Summer Camp, receive a 10 percent discount on classes at Crown Center. Discount offers may not be combined.

Payment: The Coterie accepts MasterCard, Visa, Discover, check and cash. Payment is required in full at the time of enrollment.

Refund Policy: The Coterie will provide a full refund if given one week's notice.

Confirmation: An information letter will be mailed to enrolled students one week prior to the start of class. This letter will provide all details of class time, location, teacher name, things to bring, an emergency number and more.
