MASTER CLASSES

Our Master Classes are part of our Acting Intensives but can be taken on an individual basis without being part of the actual Intensive. This is a great way to be part of the Intensive without a lengthy time commitment. Master classes are 4 nights/6 hours

We are also offering two Professional Development Classes. These are priced slightly higher due to the content being offered and the cost to hire these professional artists.

All Master Classes are held online through Zoom.
