Our Summer Acting Program offers young performers (ages 9-11) the opportunity to immerse themselves in the art of realistic, film-style acting. Our program emphasizes technique, authentic acting, and preparing students for both stage and screen roles.
Throughout the program, students engage in scene studies, monologue work, improvisation, and on-camera exercises. The experience culminates in a final showcase performance, allowing participants to demonstrate their growth and newfound skills. Our expert instructors, many with professional industry backgrounds, provide personalized coaching in a supportive and nurturing environment.
Whether your child is looking to build confidence, refine their craft, or explore the world of film-style acting, our program offers a positive and enriching summer experience.

We find that very often school drama programs are focused on productions. Our work is primarily centered on developing the young artist’s craft through a series of technique work, and individualized script work.
While all of our work is Stanislavski based, we draw from a wide range of influences and approaches to guiding our work. At it’s core, we want our students to be confident, emotionally connected, and “living truthfully in the imagined circumstances.” Every actor has their own unique approach to get to this point, and our focus is to help each of our students find what works best for them. We draw from decades of experience to connect students with rich traditions, approaches, and perspectives to best help them make strides in their development.
Our community and culture. The amazing parents, young artists, and teachers who’ve been here for almost thirty years has fostered an incredibly artistic, supportive, and creative space. People constantly note the joyous, creative atmosphere of our studio and this is directly attributable to the amazingly supportive group of students and parents. We cultivate this atmosphere by being very attuned to each individual student and their unique needs/challenges, and how to integrate that within a larger group framework.
