Fall Acting Classes 2019
Weekly Classes
The fall classes focus on building your theatrical skills: improv, scene study, and movement. Small class size means plenty of individual instruction, and the supportive, high-energy environment brings out the best in every student. Whether you’re checking us out for the first time, or a summer camp veteran looking to hone your craft, these classes will take your acting to the next level. All classes end with a showcase performance in December.
Sundays, October 13th through December 15th
- December 15th: Showcase (open to the public)
- No class December 1st (Thanksgiving break)
Perfect for young performers, this class gives budding actors an overview of the art of performing through fun improvisation games and rehearsing short scenes.
Scene Study & Acting Technique
This scene study class gives students practice preparing a role in a play. Delve into the core of the scenes through rehearsals and improvisational games that teach acting technique and result in real growth as an actor.

Ever felt like you get cast in the same roles over and over again? It’s probably because your body is locked into the same expressive form. Increase your mobility, express-ability…and castability! We will begin this class by analyzing your movement strengths and habits, and then we will expand your range with movement investigations — thereby expanding the types of characters that you can convincingly portray on stage. Best yet: you’ll get a Movement Workbook to chronicle your investigations and discoveries in – a place you can return to again and again while working on each new play and role. This class is great for students who have been exposed to physical theatre, like Commedia dell’Arte, as well as those who have done Shakespeare and basic acting training. Class size is limited, so sign up early!
