Acting in Film begins with presence in the body and truth in the moment, helping students develop subtlety, emotional depth, and confidence on camera. Through guided work in movement, stillness, and scene study, students learn to connect authentically and express with nuance, building skills that translate to film, television, and digital media. They’ll also gain hands-on experience with the technical side of production — from framing and camera awareness to understanding what happens behind the lens. Whether you want to be in front of the camera or behind it, this program prepares you to work in both roles. As part of our Pave the Path initiative, student projects are submitted to film festivals, giving participants the chance to see their work screened and recognized beyond the classroom.

Acting in Theatre focuses on bringing stories to life on stage through voice, movement, and character development. Students will learn how to project with clarity, use their bodies expressively, and work collaboratively to create authentic, engaging performances. Along the way, they’ll explore improvisation, script analysis, stage blocking, and ensemble work, building the confidence to command the stage. Classes emphasize both the craft and the joy of performance, encouraging students to take risks in a safe, supportive environment. The program runs September through June and concludes with a live stage production, giving every student the chance to showcase their growth in front of an audience.

Our Acting programs give students the tools to explore both theatre and film performance, building confidence through voice, movement, character development, improvisation, and on-camera techniques. With weekly classes running September through June, students gain hands-on experience in storytelling and collaboration while working in small groups for personalized attention. Registration opens Thursday, September 5, 2025, and the year will conclude with a live stage production where every student has the chance to shine.
