Before your first class

Is the play-reading program for adults?

Yes. This is an adult program focused on reading plays together and exploring dramatic dialogue.

How does play reading differ from theatre and acting?

Is there a free trial class?

Yes. A free trial lesson is available. Call or message us on Instagram to arrange it and confirm the appropriate group.

What is the tuition and weekly schedule?

Contact the academy for current tuition, class days and times, and availability. A discount is available when enrolling in multiple classes; ask us to confirm the amount and terms.

Can I enroll after a term starts?

Yes, students can join mid-term, subject to the class's current availability. Full-term tuition still applies to mid-term enrollment.

What if a class is missed or cancelled?

A student absence does not receive a make-up session. If the academy cancels a class, a replacement session will be arranged. Tuition is non-refundable if a student withdraws.
