Enter the exciting world of live theater acting. Students will learn the basics of acting, including voice projection, body language, and character development, as they strengthen their storytelling skills by adapting a classic, well-known story and taking on familiar characters in a whole new way. On the last day of class, they take the stage in a final performance for friends and family.
To help students explore and strengthen their skills, this class is all about:
- Acting Fundamentals
- Voice Projection
- Body Language
- Character Development
- Storytelling
- Confidence Building

Sick Policy
The health and safety of our students are a top priority. To prevent the spread of illnesses, we ask that sick students remain at home. If a student becomes ill during class, they will be isolated from the other students, and their caregiver will be contacted immediately to pick them up. Students must be symptom-free before returning.
COVID-19 Considerations: In addition to general illness prevention, we recommend the following for students experiencing COVID-19 symptoms or exposure:
- Stay home: Students who exhibit symptoms consistent with COVID-19 should isolate at home.
- COVID-19 testing: If your child has had symptoms or has been exposed to someone with COVID-19, you should consider giving them a COVID-19 test before returning to class.
- Follow local guidelines: We will adhere to local and state health department guidelines regarding COVID-19 protocols.
Late Policy
Students must be picked up promptly at the end of each session. Late fees may apply for late pickup.

- Fall, Spring, and Summer Sessions:
- Full payment is due at enrollment.
- Partial refunds are available if withdrawal is requested at least two weeks before the session begins. No refunds will be issued after this deadline.
- Mini Sessions:
- Payments for mini-sessions are nonrefundable.
