Acting
Students study character development, motivation, and analysis of intentions and objectives. The daily schedule includes voice and movement class. Students rehearse and perform an ensemble workshop production. Applicants should be aware that classes are on a collegiate level and may contain mature subject matter. Up to 18 students are accepted.
