Classes in our Full Year Program run from September/October to early June. We believe in teaching theatre by creating theatre, and so these classes will work towards a performance on stage in the Richcraft Theatre in May during our Student Showcase.
We also offer shorter workshop which vary in length from one day to 12 weeks. These intensives may result in a presentation in one of our black box studios at the end of the workshop.
