Acting Foundations (Ages 8-12)
This course is a perfect place for younger actors to take their first foray into stagecraft in a supportive group setting. Acting Foundations teaches the skills needed to understand character backstories, speak confidently on stage, express a wide range of emotions through your body, and explore a variety of scenes and mask work. Students perform twice a year at recitals in small group scenes and short one-act plays.

Actor’s Workshop (Ages 13-17)
With a focus on working through more complex, teenager-appropriate theater, Actor’s Workshop is a place to dig deeply into diverse texts. The workshop format focuses on learning through the study of monologues, group scenes, and short plays, and centers performance as a medium of expression. Students perform more extended scenes twice a year.

Private Acting Lessons (Ages 5-17)
Individualized lessons center on the specific needs of each learner. Each student focuses on their unique goals whether it be preparing for a big audition, honing skills as a voice actor, learning to be a more confident public speaker, or any other aspect of commanding a stage.
