About The Actor's Place
The Actor’s Place is an exciting and comprehensive performing arts enrichment program that teaches the fundamentals of acting in a fun and supportive environment. We are focused on our students expanding their imagination and creative voice, while also strongly valuing the life skills and personal growth that our young artists gain through the process. Our multifaceted classes are taught by professional actors with scripts from real film, television and theatrical projects. Through the use of improvisational games and acting exercises, music and more, students become more confident speaking in public, boost their self esteem, develop a sense of teamwork and most importantly have a great time.
