IT'S TIME TO TRAIN
This class is for young actors who are looking to explore Acting for Stage and Screen. Our goal is to give our students the skills they need to take on any script! Beginner and experienced actors will receive great training and have an incredible time mastering their craft and exploring the art of acting with their friends. Students will learn how to analyze text, how to create a character, and how to use these skills to work from an open, vulnerable space. Students will reach the next level and experience growth as actors, ready to take on the next challenge.

They will have semi-private scene coaching every week alongside exercises that help build their understanding of text analysis, play, tactics/actions, framing and environment.
