The TriCounty Performing Arts Center on High Street in Pottstown is holding a special open house this weekend, Jan. 9 and 10, wherein attendees can try out different aspects of being a theater member.

If you dream about performing in a show or learning how to act or do improv, this weekend is for you. The theater is offering free mini classes so you can try out your talents. The classes are for all ages. Offered are the following: acting and improv, an audition workshop, music, voice lessons, and instrument instruction.

All who attend are eligible to win prizes such as tickets to a theater performance, tickets to the American Music Theatre in Lancaster, golf tickets, artwork, makeup and salon products and more.

The open house will be held from 3 to 7:30 p.m. Saturday and from 12:30 to 3 p.m. Sunday. Don't forget to hang around for the N Crowd improv comedy troupe Saturday night.

The mini classes offer a taste of what the theater has to offer, and its current winter class schedule begins Jan. 10. Class descriptions and fees can be found at www.villageproductions.org/Classes.html
