PTW’s Acting Classes & Drama Lessons engage the young actor in the NOW, benefiting kids of all ages, at every level of development. In our acting classes and private drama lessons, students use their imagination to ground themselves in character, expand their senses while using the space, and dig deep into their character’s surrounding circumstances.
In class, students learn to build their work from the inside out by asking the Who, What, When, Where, Why and How of a character. They learn to seek out the truest expression in the life of that person. PTW instructors apply elements of Meisner, Adler, and more elite schools of acting and drama pedagogy in age-appropriate ways to give students a firm grounding in various disciplines of acting and drama technique.
PTW experts take great care in matching students with classes appropriate to their age, level, and experience. Private acting and drama lessons are also available.
“The talent of the teachers here is amazing. It’s an honor to work with them. They give such individual attention, it’s great.”
