Founded in 1987, 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 school aged students from 7 to 18, Center Stage offers youth performers basic performance skills through mini lessons including acting, singing, movement and auditioning. Children’s Voice and Children’s Acting teach students the fundamental skills of singing and acting in a creative group environment. Dance classes are offered for youth and teenagers in Broadway Dance.

For students age 14 to 18, Improv bolsters the spirit of creative acting styles through theatre games and comedic learning, while Teen Acting teaches fundamentals by exploring monologues, scene study, and speech through the works of diverse playwrights. Teen Voice Classes for age groups from 14 to 18 teach student vocalists how to use their musical singing instrument on their way to becoming a group or solo voice musician. Teen Acting offers a small class environment with one-on-one coaching, focusing on the technical aspects of acting performance.

ACT Studio One is also offering a series of pre-professional training classes for young adult artists who are interested in pursuing more advanced training in the arts. Teen Voice 2, Teen Acting 2, and Studio One Dance Company are small group classes taught in the workshop style, striving to give each student individual attention. These classes are audition-based, students will be admitted into the classes based on their skill level, not every student will be accepted. Audition information is available on The Company Theatre website.

Adult Acting, Tap, and Voice classes are also available. Taught by industry professionals, these classes offer adults the opportunity to explore a new class or to work on honing their technique.

All students have the opportunity to participate in performances and demonstrations at biannual ACT Studio One Showcase presentations.
