Classes & Auditions

Our classes offer an engaging theatrical learning experience for students, ages 6-18, every Fall, Winter, and Spring.

Classes run 10 weeks on Monday's, Tuesday's or Thursday's from 4:30-6:30 with Core classes in acting, singing, and dancing, ensuring a broad base of knowledge in the performing arts. For students who have completed their Core classes, we offer specialty classes that vary from session to session, in improvisation, audition techniques, costuming, props and more!   

The final week of each session concludes with an exciting SHOWCASE where students demonstrate some of their newfound skills to family and friends.
