Classes
Calendar for 2011-2012
School Year offerings: I structure the year-long session in three parts: fall, winter and spring.
Parents sign their child up for the fall session, and pre-register the child for the winter and spring sessions. I take new students for each session only if space permits. I keep my classes small by design—no more than ten students.
The fall session is up and running! Space is still available in some classes.
Fees for Fall session will be pro-rated.
Fall Session:
Week of September 19
- Week of December 19
(13 weeks): $325
Winter Session: Week of January 9 - Week of April 2 (12 weeks): $300
Spring Session: Week of April 16 - Week of June 18 (9 weeks): $225
Discount: If you register for all 3 sessions at the beginning of the fall session, the cost is $750.
Scholarships are available for students in need who have a passion for acting and theater.
