Theatre School Programs


Classes for young people and adults of all ages,
backgrounds, and levels of experience.

The Theatre School at People’s Light offers numerous classes each year, providing the community an opportunity to collaborate with company artists in exploring the theatre-making process.


FOR ADULTS (Ages 18 & Up)
People’s Light’s classes for adults are designed for students of all ages and backgrounds—from those exploring acting for the first time to those who have some experience and want to build their skills. Class size is small, averaging 12 students per class.


FOR YOUTH (Grades 2-12)
People’s Light offers young people a supportive and non-competitive environment in which to explore theatre-making. Our curriculum includes Core Classes and Intensive Classes during the school year and programs during the summer.


Core Classes are divided by age group and focus on developing the basic tools of the actor—body, voice and imagination. Core classes are appropriate for students of all levels.

Intensive Classes are designed for students who have taken previous Core Classes and are ready for more advanced work. Classes focus on deepening acting skills through improvisation, ensemble technique, coaching in voice and movement, and scene work.
