Summer Classes for Kids & Teens and Adult Winter Playwriting

Our CAA classes are an opportunity for students at all levels of experience to bring their imaginations to life, while practicing basic performance and writing skills. Students will work collaboratively with their peers, creating characters and telling stories while building the confidence needed to enjoy creative freedom.

Our classes are taught by trained professional theatre educators who have years of experience as working actors, writers and directors. Since new skills are presented each session, the classes are designed to be taken multiple times. At the end of each kids and teen session, there is a "sharing" of class work for family and friends.
