All acting classes are held on Saturdays from September to April. See calendar for details. Spring Session: January 7th- April 1st, 2023 (No classes President's Day Weekend)
The Saturday Program at The Neighborhood Playhouse Junior School is dedicated to giving young actors of all levels of training the same rigorous, dynamic instruction offered in the adult conservatory and summer workshops & studios. All students train in the core principles of acting, singing, and dancing. Older students are introduced to the Meisner Technique, the foundation of acting taught at the Neighborhood Playhouse, and geared toward appropriate age levels. Young actors will use the skills learned in their acting classes and apply them to Scene Study, Voice & Speech, Song Interpretation, Dance, Auditioning, Acting for Film & Television, Commercials, and much more.
