IN THE MOMENT IMPROV (Mondays 6:00 - 7:30 p.m.) ALL LEVELS
JAN 5TH - MARCH 23RD
Discover the core principles of improvisation and acting through playful exercises that build confidence, imagination, and spontaneity. This class helps you think on your feet, collaborate with others, and break out of creative habits. Whether you’re new to performing or looking to sharpen your instincts, you’ll leave each class more open, responsive, and inventive.​

THE CRAFT: Monologue For Stage (Mondays 7:45 - 9:15 p.m.) BEGINNER
JAN 5TH - MARCH 23RD
A practical introduction to performing monologues for live theatre. Students learn how to choose material that suits them, understand the emotional and technical beats of the piece, and bring authenticity to the stage. The class focuses on text analysis, character connection, physical awareness, and stage presence—giving beginners and growing actors alike the tools to feel grounded and confident in front of an audience


VOICE & SPEECH (Thursdays 6:00 - 7:45 p.m.)  "ALL LEVELS"
JAN 8TH - MARCH 26TH
This class is not just for actors! Whether you are an actor or anyone who uses their voice professionally in your workforce, this class is for YOU! Strengthen the clarity, presence, and stamina of your voice. This class covers breath support, articulation, projection, resonance, and vocal health, giving you tools that apply both onstage and off. Ideal for actors, public speakers, teachers, or anyone who relies on their voice in daily life. You’ll learn practical techniques to speak with ease, confidence, and expressiveness


SCENE STUDY (Thursdays 7:45 - 9:15pm) ADVANCED
JAN 8TH - MARCH 26TH
Bring your acting technique into practice with focused scene work. Students receive scenes, rehearse with partners, and work through character relationships, objectives, tactics, and emotional truth. You’ll be guided through the process of shaping a performance, exploring beats, and taking direction. By the end, you’ll gain a clearer sense of how to approach any scripted scene with confidence and depth.
