Essentials of Acting
7th-12th Grades
Wednesdays, five weeks from February 18th, 2026
4:00pm – 6:00pm
During this five-week class, students will explore acting, vocal and movement techniques using scene work and monologues to land their next audition or bring their character to life. We’ll tackle the question every actor must ask themselves: “What’s my obstacle?” From there, we’ll explore the different ways to overcome it. From Stanislavski to Meisner, we will cover different teaching styles while building your acting tool repertoire. Both beginners and students with on-stage experience will benefit from this class.
Tuition: $100
