Theatre Arts Training Institute
Institute
This multi-year program is for actors’ grades 6-8 and 9-12 who are looking to push their training to the next level. Students will receive specialized training in Acting, Voice, Movement, and Dance. Highlights include intensive acting training with industry professionals, an annual spring showcase, mainstage audition opportunities, and mentorship under CTC artists.
Each fall and winter, student cohorts take a weekly class on Tuesdays focusing on advancing skills each year. During the Spring Session, students prepare a showcase highlighting their progress. In addition to their course work, Institute members can receive one-on-one mentorship with industry professionals, participate in exclusive workshops, and receive individual coaching to prepare for auditions.
As this is a very rigorous program, we have a high expectation for attendance. We permit up to 2 missed classes per session (fall, winter, and spring) and no absences are permitted during tech and performance week.
