8 classes per month.  Two (2) Showcase recitals per year. Participation in showcases are encouraged but not required.

This program is designed to give as much exploratory freedom to the participants as possible in a structured environment. Because the essence of acting lies in the simultaneous presence of live actors and spectators, it is important to develop both disciplines for the craft as well as spontaneity. It is the decision of the faculty to focus on areas that are basic and elemental to the process which allows beginner or intermediate students to find real value in the program in order to prepare them for opportunities in film, television, or theatre. Classes are divided according to skill and experience as well as age.
