Our Youth Classes invite young performers ages 8–13 to imagine boldly, work together, and bring stories to life. Through movement, character work, and ensemble-based activities, students build confidence, creativity, and a love of performance in a fun, supportive setting.

Teen Classes

Our Teen Classes invite performers ages 14–18 to dig deeper into acting through movement, scene work, and ensemble-based exploration. Students build confidence, sharpen their instincts, and learn how to collaborate, take risks, and bring authenticity to their work in a supportive, engaging setting.

Adult

Our Adult Acting Classes (18+) are taught by Artistic Director Jeff Thomakos, whose training includes an MFA in Acting and extensive study in psycho-physical and ensemble-based performance. Drawing on his work as a professional actor, director, and educator, classes focus on presence, physical storytelling, emotional truth, and building a strong mind-body connection in a supportive, professional environment.

Led by Artistic Director Jeff Thomakos, our Adult Improv Classes (18+) draw on his extensive training with ImprovOlympic, Second City, and Brave New Workshop. Through fast-paced games and character-driven scene work, students learn to trust their instincts, collaborate freely, and find the joy of creating in the moment.
