Drama Studio

The Drama Studio is a unique adolescent theatre conservatory and community where young people come to grow as artists, leaders, and individuals. Our mission is to enrich and validate the youth experience in our diverse community via excellence in a conservatory-style acting training program. The term “conservatory-style” is used to describe a two-part process: first, a series of acting classes, offered sequentially from introductory to advanced levels, that permit acting students to grow in their craft over a period of years, and second, a series of production opportunities that allow students to audition, rehearse and perform at the same level of quality operating in the classroom. As part of our mission, we also seek to increase reading and writing proficiency rates among local elementary school students through unique and innovative literacy-focused outreach initiatives.
