THE PROGRAM

At the core of our program is the belief that the training of the actors “instrument”, the voice and body, is the key to perfecting the skill of “being in the moment” and creating truthful, compelling performances on stage and on camera.

To this end, our program is a “conservatory style” program, similar to a college setting, with a set of core classes that every student participates in.  There are five core classes on a weekly rotation with three classes per day, each two hours in length. Students work on a variety of monologues, scenes, ensemble pieces and exercises which they will rehearse both inside and outside of class time.  Pieces are performed on our Saturday Showcase nights and the best pieces are selected to be performed at our Final Showcase.
