Santa Paula Theater Center will host two series of acting classes beginning in April. A beginners class, taught by the center’s artistic director, David Ralphe, will take place on Saturdays, April 30 through June 12, from 10 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Linda Livingston will hold a scene study class on Monday evenings, May 2 through June 13, from 7 to 10:30 p.m. Fee for each series is $125.

All events will be held at the center, 125 S. 7th St. in Santa Paula. To register for any of them, or for further information, call 525-4645.

SCRAMBLING SISTERS: Two versions of Dan Goggin’s comic musical “Nunsense” will open within a weeks’ time, though not (by Ventura County standards) too closely together. The first, by the newly formed Ventura County Actors Theater, an offshoot of the old Cabrillo Music Theatre, opens May 6 in a converted church in Oxnard’s Heritage Square. If that isn’t enough singing and dancing “Nuns,” the newly formed Soap Box Players will open its own version of the show at the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center.

On the other hand, the Moorpark Melodrama’s upcoming “Sisters on the Run” isn’t about nuns at all, but singers. The show was previously advertised under the title “Live a Little.”

SHAKESPEARE SPLITS: This year’s Ojai Shakespeare Festival divides itself into two sessions, with the comedy “Twelfth Night” running May 21 through June 19 at Dennison Park, and the tragedy “Othello” Aug. 4 through 14 at Libbey Bowl, both in Ojai. In previous years, the festival’s two productions have run concurrently in Libbey Park.
