Teen Classes

Ages 13–18

Where teens grow confidence through creativity.

Our Teen Classes are built for students who are developing a stronger sense of identity and are ready to take greater ownership of their creative work. These classes emphasize personal choice, collaboration, and craft, giving teens the tools to make intentional artistic decisions while strengthening confidence and self-expression.

Students work with more advanced concepts in acting, improvisation, and musical storytelling through focused exercises, scene and song work, and ensemble-based exploration. Classes challenge teens to listen deeply, respond truthfully, and communicate clearly, both onstage and within a group. Emphasis is placed on accountability, respect, and creative responsibility, preparing students for more complex performance work and collaborative environments.

Whether a student is exploring theatre for personal growth or considering future performance opportunities, our teen program supports skill development, creative independence, and the confidence to take meaningful risks in a supportive, professional setting.
