ACTING
Our kids acting classes focus on building strong, on-camera performance skills while helping young actors grow in confidence. Students train for film and TV—learning how to be natural and truthful on camera. Through scene work, cold reads, and self-tapes, kids discover how to break down scripts and make bold choices. Instructors certified in the Chubbuck Technique guide them through character development and emotional connection, even at a beginner level.
Many of our young actors go on to book roles or move into more advanced training with confidence.
FILMMAKING
Explore the behind-the-scenes magic of filmmaking! Filmmaking classes give kids and teens the chance to write, direct, and film original short projects—rotating through roles like director, camera operator, sound mixer, and editor. It’s a fun, hands-on way to build storytelling skills and confidence both in front of and behind the camera. Perfect for students who want the full film set experience or are curious about what happens beyond the actor’s role.
