In this level II acting class, you will learn how to take a performance from “ho-hum” to “wow”! Building on core acting fundamentals, this course explores creative, practical ways to make performances more compelling. Through engaging class activities, students will develop dynamic tools for their actor’s toolbox, including Viewpoints, vocal and text analysis strategies, and light monologue and scene work.

In this class, students will develop character, stage presence, and vocal expression through some of their favorite musical theatre songs! They will learn small-group numbers that include solo singing opportunities, as well as a full ensemble piece. Throughout the course, students will explore what it means to work together as an ensemble while also building confidence in their individual voices.

In Intro to Scene Study, you'll learn the fundamentals of acting through exercises, open scenes, and guided scene work. We'll focus on active listening, honest reactions, and how to bring genuine emotion to a scene without forcing it. Through exercises, open scenes, and guided exploration, you'll begin to understand how actors make choices — and start making your own.

Unlock your creativity and discover the joy of spontaneous acting! Through fun, fast-paced games and guided scene work, you’ll learn the core principles of improv—listening, collaboration, and saying “Yes, and!” Build confidence, think on your feet, and connect with others in a supportive, laughter-filled environment.

Perfect for anyone eager to stretch creatively, meet new people, and have a great time doing it!

Ready to dig deeper? This class is for people who have some acting experience — whether from a previous scene study class, community theatre, or formal training — and want to continue sharpening their craft through more rigorous work.

We'll dig into script analysis, exploring how to break down a scene, identify objectives and tactics, and uncover the subtext beneath the words. You'll work on monologues drawn from published plays and develop the skills to make bold, specific acting choices that serve the story.
