This one-on-one or small group class is available year-round – you can start whenever you’re ready. Students of any age will conceive, develop, workshop, rehearse, and bring their own original story to life – either as a staged play or a short film. Under the direction of Jeremy Kruse, Artistic Director of Gorton Drama Studio, you’ll experience the complete creative process: building characters, discovering relationships, shaping improvised scenes into a compelling script, and rehearsing for authentic, emotionally truthful performances.

If the project becomes a film, you’ll learn how to act for the camera, work with multiple takes, and experience the technical side of production — from lighting to sound. If it becomes a play, you’ll gain the rhythm, stamina, and connection needed for live performance. Either way, you’ll leave with professional-level training, a deeper understanding of storytelling, and the thrill of seeing your work realized from the ground up.

Start dates are flexible, and the schedule and cost depend on the size and scope of your project. Contact Jeremy directly to begin your creative journey.

This Private acting class is offering different times throughout the day.
