Parental Guidance
In this acting class, we may explore scripts that include themes or language reflective of real-world film and television content. While all materials are selected to be age-appropriate and suitable for learners, some scripts might contain mild language or mature themes that are commonly encountered in the industry. I will ensure that any such content is presented thoughtfully and within the bounds of Outschool's content policies. Parents are encouraged to review any materials provided and discuss any concerns with me directly to ensure a comfortable and supportive learning environment for their child.
