Started in 2003 as an extension of Way Off Broadway’s Children’s Theatre Summer Camp program, the Actors’ Studio picks up where the summer camp leaves off, offering workshops and classes during the spring and fall.
During each spring and fall session, students focus on and learn all of the aspects of theater through vocal music, acting exercises, and basic choreography, as well as scene studies and performance techniques. They do this as the class rehearses for a mini-production that is performed at the end of the session.
This year’s spring session will begin on Tuesday, March 27th and meet once a week for eight weeks, from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. Registration is done on a first-come first serve basis and costs $250 per student. The spring session of the Actors’ Studio is for student 9 – 15 years old and will be taught by Bill Kiska, Way Off Broadway’s Executive Producer, and Jordan Stocksdale, the theatre’s Creative Director. Registration may be done in person at the theater or by calling (301) 662-6600.
