Virtual Classes
In a time when schedules and routines have been turned upside down, one thing remains constant: the arts! Music and theatre have always given people hope, and people have always turned to the arts in difficult times. With the changes that have happened so rapidly in our lives, the arts can be very helpful in maintaining a sense of normalcy. During these times of social distancing, use your free time to play an instrument, work on vocal studies, hone your acting technique, build your portfolio with new monologues and repertoire, dive into the history of theater or participate in a masterclass! Keep moving forward in your goals and passions!
​
While we miss seeing everyone in person, we want to connect with you online! Let's embrace the exciting new opportunities that we now have together!
We proudly present our new line-up of virtual classes ...
