Young Actors Studio Theater Classes

General acting classes take place over fall, winter, and spring trimesters and focus on different acting techniques, playwriting, improvisation, and scene study. Year-round advanced classes are taught by members of our education staff. In the summer, we offer programs for students entering 1st grade through graduated seniors in our exceptional Young Actors Summer Institute.
