Acting for Adults

In this four-week acting class for adults, you’ll explore Method Acting, work on scripted material, and engage in both short-form and long-form improvisation. Improv serves both as a tool for developing original scenes and as its own creative practice—building spontaneity, listening, and emotional truth. Each two-hour session offers the chance to strengthen your craft, whether you’re a beginner building confidence or an experienced actor refining your skills. Scenes created in class will be filmed for learning and reflection, and participants who wish to may use the footage to build or update a demo reel. Join us to explore, create, and grow.
