• Ages: 7–18 years old

Programs are led by professionally trained teaching artists working in theatre, film, and the arts in the DC region, and all instructors complete background checks. Most programs conclude with a showcase or performance for families, giving every student an opportunity to participate and perform. Acting classes and camps are for kids ages 7 and up who can work with short scripts and have basic reading skills, while younger children may be better suited for private coaching. Instructors are available to speak with parents at check-in and dismissal, and families receive email updates when needed. Students should bring a pencil and highlighter, scripts are provided, and camp students are asked to pack two snacks and a lunch; if a location includes scheduled swim time, students should bring a swimsuit and towel, and a detailed welcome email with program-specific details is sent before each session.
