Summer 2026 Classes for Adults

This playful approach to the actor’s craft is conducive to the beginner. This class allows individuals to experience living in the imaginary world of a character and a story while expanding their self-expression and emotional life. Students will learn how to investigate a script and explore their intuition through games, exercises, and scenes from film or stage. This class is designed to be taken more than once, as it is different in meaningful ways each time — ever-changing with the instructor, fellow students, and the material chosen for the class. Acting Fundamentals classes are for EVERYBODY ~ from curious beginners and professionals wishing to present more comfortably at work to theatre professionals getting back to basics and empty nesters finally getting back to what they always wanted to do. And college students seeking a creative outlet? Yep. This is the class for people like you, who want to connect and have more fun! [Instructor Bios are available under the Menu under Instructors]

This course is for those who have had previous acting training. Those who have taken Acting Fundamentals can check in with their instructor to see if Acting Explorations I is recommended or if another Fundamentals would be more helpful. This class is ideal for thosewith experience and a basic actor vocabulary who are looking to get back into the work after a break. Using scene work and exercises, the focus of this class is strengthening text analysis and following inner impulses to create a powerful need to speak. The work in class will enliven the imagination and increase emotional availability of the actor. This class is designed to be taken more than once, as it is different each time with new students and new scenes to explore. Limited to 10 students.

Led by Kathryn Osborne, this more advanced course is for students with acting experience and those who have taken previous classes and would like to continue stretching their acting muscles. THOSE WHO HAVE TAKEN EXPLORATIONS I, CAN CHECK WITH THEIR INSTRUCTOR TO SEE IF EXPLORATIONS II IS RECOMMENDED OR IF ANOTHER EXPLORATIONS I CLASS WOULD BE MORE HELPFUL!

Everyone is expected to work in every class. The final class, there may be a performance of scenes and monologues for an invited audience.
