Drawing inspiration from the shows on the Mainstage, we will explore the tools in the actor’s toolbox, from improv and script analysis to character development and stage presence.

Discover the power of play to unlock your creativity and create a space for exploration and connection. Whether you’re in it to have fun, to develop your skills as an actor, or to build a deeper understanding and appreciation of stagecraft, you’ll leave with skills you can apply both onstage and off.

Classes will be taught by Director of Education Robert David Grant, a Yale School of Drama graduate and Dartmouth Acting Lecturer with acting credits in New York and around the country, joined by special guest artists from the Northern Stage Community.

No prior acting experience necessary.

Tuition: $45 per class / $120 for all three
