Calling all young heroes ages 8–12!

Journey to Mt. Olympus starts Tuesday! Young actors will battle mythical beasts, outsmart legendary characters, and take on a new adventure each week through acting games, improv, and physical theater.

No experience needed — just imagination. Registration is still open, and we need a few more adventurers to make this journey!

Want to walk into your next audition more prepared, polished, and confident?

Audition Prep 101 teaches young actors ages 8–18 how to slate, choose the right material, cut music, make stronger acting choices, and stand out for the right reasons.

We can absolutely tell the difference in the audition room when an actor has trained and practiced these skills.

Audition Prep 101 is a requirement for the CFT Theater Foundations Certificate. Registration is still open, but space is limited.
