- Acting Classes for Kids
- Year-round conservatory training

What's Included

• Performances in intimate black box setting
• Rehearsals and instruction in the same venue

Experience

The black box format gives kids a different feel than traditional proscenium stages - closer to the audience, more nimble for staging experiments. The conservatory model lets kids stay year-round rather than jumping between camps.
