In these 5-week, fun-packed courses, young actors will learn skills to help them listen, focus, and find their inner voice. During this summer program, your young actor can develop their creative abilities, learn teamwork required for performing, vocal projection, articulation, timing, improve their listening and memorization skills, confidence and grace. The summer culminates in a showcase celebrating your young actor's new found talents.
    Each class is limited to 12 students, so reserve your spot early.
