Founded in 2013 as an extension of The Academy of The Company Theatre, ACT Studio One programs offer education geared towards refining skills in the arts, giving the performer a process to guide them towards excellence in performance. ACT Studio One’s mission is to build confidence in the performing arts through ability in a creative, safe and supportive environment, motivating self-expression through progressive training to children, teens and adults. A faculty of established teacher/artists educate, nurture and encourage proper technical development in voice, acting, movement and music, leading students to confident, positive experiences.

For students ages 7 to 14, Center Stage 1A, 1B and 2 offers youth performers basic performance skills through progressive mini lessons including acting, singing, movement and auditioning. For students ages 13 to 18, Broadway Musical Theatre allows youth to experience every aspect of musical theatre with educations and performance of musical scenes on stage. Students will work on several projects from learning lyrics and music, to blocking staging, choreographing, singing and performing. For students ages 7 to 18, Broadway Dance 1 and 2 offer beginner or intermediate dancers the basics of Broadway dance in technique, body position, expression and interpretation.

Children’s and Teen Voice 1 and 2 classes for age groups from 8 to 18 teach student vocalists how to use their musical singing instrument on their way to becoming a group or solo voice musician. For students age 12 to 18, Teen Improv bolsters the spirit of creative acting styles through theatre games and comedic learning, while Teen Acting 1 and 2, for ages 14 to 18, teaches fundamentals by exploring monologues, scene study, and speech through the works of diverse playwrights.

Adult Voice, Adult Acting, Adult Tap, and Adult Drop In Dance classes are also available. These classes are leveled to serve beginners, intermediate and advanced performers who are looking to strengthen their skills.
