We’re Excited to Announce a New Series of Acting Classes This Fall!
Whether you're brand new to acting or looking to strengthen your performance skills, our upcoming Acting for Teens and Adults classes offer a welcoming and engaging experience for students of all ability levels. Sign up for one session or join as many as you'd like!
Each class focuses on developing specific acting techniques and applying them to scripts from 20th-century American plays. Sessions are divided into two parts:
Hour One: Fun and interactive improvisation exercises designed to spark imagination, improve focus, and strengthen communication skills.
Hour Two: Guided script work where students apply acting techniques while exploring character development and scene study.
Each four-week session culminates in a public staged reading of a selected play, allowing participants to share their work with family and friends. Scripts are provided, and no memorization is required.
Cost: $140 per session (includes a $20 materials fee)
