Theatre School: Acting Classes & Training

This course is designed for children who have a keen interest in acting.

Acting in a formal environment, students are encouraged to develop theatre skills, with particular emphasis on voice, movement, and expression of ideas. Concepts of how to audition, how to prepare for a part, and how to create a character are all covered in this class.

This is a performance-orientated class, open to those with and without previous training or experience.

Teenagers interested in acting are invited to explore the art of theatre, and develop their performing skills!

Through monologues, scene-work, and acting exercises, students develop a greater awareness of "Who, What, Where, When and Why" -- giving them a positive attitude about themselves and a respect for the art form they have chosen.

This is a performance-orientated class, open to those with and without previous training or experience.

Have you ever thought of being on stage? This is the course for you! Join today, and begin learning formal acting techniques in a fun, low-pressure environment.

Develop skills in voice, movement, and character creation through theatre games, solo and group exercises, and performing in-class with your fellow students.

This course is an excellent first step into the world of the theatre for those who wish to try acting for fun, and also a great stepping-stone for those that will want to continue on to a performance-oriented class.

For adults who have a serious interest in exploring the art of live theatre, whether as an engaging new hobby or a step on the road to professional performance.

Artistic Director John Chase will introduce you to the foundations of stage acting, the audition process, and the need-to-know disciplines of an actor working on a production.

Performance is our primary focus! Students participate in scenes, theatrical exercises, and monologues of their own choosing, to develop practical skills such as voice, movement, and character creation.

Alongside acting, you will learn some theory that is useful to every performer: basic theatre terminology, types of stages, and how to write an acting résumé, to name a few.

Previous training and experience are not required, however strong attendance AND certainty of commitment to the final dress rehearsal and performance are a must.
