acting classes

The Playhouse offers seven-week acting classes in fall, winter and spring for children from grades K-12 and for adults of all ages.

Playhouse classes offer a chance to investigate the basics of acting, improvisation, movement and theatre games, as well as acting for TV and film. Different classes are offered to different age groups at different times of year. The requirements for classes vary from instructor to instructor, but the intent of all classes is to introduce the student to the beginning concepts of performance. Most classes do not require memorization or other out-of-class work.

The Playhouse offers limited scholarships to this program. This year, the Playhouse offers classes at its Eden Park facility and two additional locations:  Clifton Cultural Arts Center (3711 Clifton Avenue) and the Mayerson JCC (8485 Ridge Road, Amberley).  All of our classes are taught by the same group of local theatre professionals.
