Come aboard this fun, exploratory experience for primary aged students through 1st grade! Let’s learn the basics of acting while concentrating on building each student’s individual imagination and creativity to create unlimited adventure.

Explore the fundamentals of multiple acting techniques—from Uta Hagen to Sanford Meisner and other masters of “the method.” A great technique is the one you create for yourself by exploring multiple roads to the truth of the moment. Learn the principles of characterization, script analysis and rehearsal-level improvisation by exploring truthful preparation and active approaches to your work.

Stretch and grow your natural talent by learning the fundamental tools it takes to be a successful, professional actor. In this class we will explore script analysis, stage presence, acting terminology, physicality, characterization, and improvisation to advance each student’s confidence and creativity. Let’s build on your knowledge of the basics and learn how to bring your uniqueness to every story.

This exciting new program is designed for young actors ages 10-18 who are interested in taking their overall training to the next level.

Auditioning is a skill just like acting, singing and dancing. Why not practice auditioning? Just like everything else, the more you audition the better you get at it! You get more comfortable and learn your strengths, weaknesses and what you can do better next time. So much of this business is auditioning and so much of your time will be spent auditioning. It’s crucial to know how to “sell yourself” in the best way possible. Students will participate in various “practice auditions.” Everything will be treated like an audition from when they walk into the room to when they leave. They will be taught choreography quickly and be broken into groups. It will be their responsibility to come warmed up and ready as if it were an actual audition. Feedback will be given and they’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and go over the do’s and don’t of auditioning. We will discuss audition attire and the best things to wear so you feel comfortable and confident going into your audition. This class will help better prepare you for the rigorous process of musical theater auditions and what will be expected of you as a professional!
