The Performer's Academy

The Performer's Academy Call today! We are Orange County's Premiere Acting & Performing Arts Studio. Our classes are taught by Film Directors, Writers, Producers, and Working Actors.

We have classes in Acting, Improv, On-Camera, Film, Vocal Training, Voice-Over, Musical Theater & more. Group acting lessons are excellent if you're a beginner, as they can give you a real feel for what it's like to act with others. After all, much of acting is reacting to others and what's going on around you, and group classes recreate that well. Classes in acting, improvisation, and monologues

build self-esteem, confidence, reading, and reading comprehension skills - plus are a great way to let off some steam and have a great deal of fun! Creativity & confidence soars! Working with others, you'll be able to receive peer feedback and develop your ability to socialize and improvise. These are all crucial if you want to succeed as an actor since most of what you do will be around others whether it's a cast, crew members, or even extras. We are a bonded facility and our instructors have Child Performer Services Permits (CPS) as required by the State of California.

Hadestown (Teen Edition)
Hadestown is an intriguing and beautiful folk opera delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience.
Following two intertwining love stories - that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of immortal King Hades and lady Persephone - Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, Mitchell’s beguiling sung-through musical pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against
love.

Hadestown: Teen Edition is presented through a special arrangement with Concord Theatricals.
