Offering both a Two Year Acting Track and Two Year Musical Theatre Track, both programs emphasize acting technique based in truthful storytelling, with a foundation in live theatre performance. We aim to support and educate our students, giving them the tools to become successful working actors and unique theatre artists with the ability to adapt to an ever-evolving industry.
