REGISTRATION NOW OPEN!!
This intensive film and TV acting program runs from September 2021 until the end of May 2022. The program is available for different age groups ranging from age 9 through high school senior.
At the end of May, the students prepare for an industry showcase. This in-person event for local producers, casting directors and agents is filmed, and the video is sent all industry professionals in the region and beyond. Course enrollment is kept low to ensure that all students receive plenty of on-camera and individual coaching time.
Learning about the actual business side of the entertainment industry is also a large focus. Using the correct tools to audition is crucial, especially during this time when traditional auditions are being replaced by virtual sessions.
Students are encouraged to pursue their goals by working hard while being creative and having fun—all while receiving support and motivation from the entire class.
