And small classes mean personal attention for every member.

Enrollment is open for the Spring session of this ever-popular workshop program, now in its 50th year, a fun experience that helps students expand their imagination as they act, sing, dance, play theatre games, improvise, work with costumes and make-up, lighting and sound, sets and props, and collaborate with professional playwrights and directors to create an awesome fully-staged original production with music, written just for them. No experience needed, but even the most advanced young actor will benefit from this workshop.
