This curriculum will offer students ages 4-8, ages 8-12, & ages 12-19 who are interested in exploring our current options of theatre training.  Students may seek skills in acting as a form of self-expression, as well as working professionally in the entertainment business. We strive to give students in the skills needed to be competitive and get cast both locally and in the professional world. Classes at The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep are progressive—students move through the program as their skills mature. The same class may be taken multiple times to master all the skills before the student moves up to the next level.

Classes are taught by industry professionals who understand what it takes to “make it” in this business. Our instructors are local professional actors, directors, and teachers who specialize in working with children. All of them have degrees in theatre or education and have several years of experience working with the specific age groups they are assigned. Thorough background checks and child abuse prevention training is exercised for all teachers before they interact with any students.

Student’s individual skill level may vary with age. We propose age divisions based on techniques directed towards skills we think are applicable to that age range. For questions on where your child may best fit, contact Ben@northcoastrep.org.

Playful Ensemble Classes for ages 4-8

Broadway Babies

Broadway Babies is our introduction into the world of theatre. These classes are designed to spark creativity and teach the basics of stage etiquette and ensemble building. All classes are built on the foundation of theatre games to teach these skills. Songs or scenes inspired by popular children’s books, movies, and other thoughtful and giving characters will be explored in these “Broadway Babies” ensemble-building courses. Each Broadway Babies class culminates in a final showcase for friends and family.
