Stagecraft

Stagecraft is designed for 5th-12th grade performers who are ready to dive deeper into their craft, build strong performance fundamentals, and grow their stage confidence. Whether your actor is brand new to theatre or looking to hone specific skills to prepare for our advanced Studio program, Stagecraft provides the perfect environment to learn, experiment, and shine. Through engaging exercises, character work, voice and movement training, and ensemble building, students will develop the tools needed to take their performance to the next level—regardless of previous experience. Every session culminates in a production on the Crown Theater stage!

Schedule: Tuesday | 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM

Ages: 5th–12th Grade

Capacity: Capped 15 performers total for maximum stage time and direct feedback. With a hard cap of 15 performers, every student receives personal instruction and substantial roles.

Financial Aid & Tuition Assistance: We believe financial constraints should never stand between a dedicated young actor and the stage. Need-based tuition assistance is available. Please reach out to our team before auditions to apply.
