Education
Empowering young artists and adults through premier theatrical training, summer camps, and creative workshops designed to inspire lifelong confidence and connection.
Classes & Workshops
Our fall and spring weekly classes offer hands-on training in acting technique, stage presence, improv, and theatrical production for both youth and adult students.
Acting Techniques Class
(Ages 7-11) | Fall 2026
This class is ideal for children new to theater as well as those with prior experience. Every child will develop a deep understanding and appreciation for the craft of acting.
Students will rehearse age-appropriate scripts, drawing from classic fairy tales, modern stories, and original works designed to offer a meaningful, fun challenge.
Ensemble members will enjoy immersing themselves in their characters and bringing stories to life, culminating in a 25-to-30-minute one-act play performed for a live audience.
Acting Production Class
(Ages 12-18) | Fall 2026
Students in this production-focused course will collaborate as an ensemble to rehearse and perform a 30-to-40-minute one-act play for a live audience.
To ensure a meaningful, age-appropriate challenge, the script is selected from a diverse collection of publishers based on enrollment size and skill levels.
The play will be announced one week before class begins, alongside first-day audition materials. Students will actively apply their skills, culminating in an exciting final performance.
Summer Camps
Our popular theatrical summer performance camps offer immersive, 1 week and 3 week-long experiences where students learn choreography, vocal styling, acting techniques, and technical theater, culminating in a spectacular live showcase production on our main stage. This camp is in July usually the week after July 4th holiday.
Our Programs
Beyond traditional classes, our specialized long-term programs include youth theater troupes, school outreach initiatives, and technical theater mentorship opportunities.
