The Master Class

Students entering this class MUST be invited into this class or have previous theatrical training. If your child has not previously participated in our previous classes, and would like to participate, kindly message us prior to enrolling, and share with us more about your child's theatrical background. Please keep in mind this is an advanced class and we move at a brisk pace and attendance for this course is 100% mandatory!

At each class, actors will participate in highly structured theatre games, character development exercises, as well as speech and diction. During the duration of the course, we will have individual classes solely dedicated to one discipline.
