Trinity Rep offers acting classes for students in grades K-12 at all experience levels. These courses are process-based, focusing on acting techniques through the lens of scene study, playwriting, collaborative creation, and/or improvisation. Each class ends in a small informal sharing of student work for family and friends.  

Fall and Spring session classes focus on original play creation with specific activities and themes catered to each age group. Winter session classes dive into a theater topic that is of interest to the class.

Before an actor begins telling stories in front of audiences, they must learn to be comfortable on stage. This class teaches students how to establish presence and confidence onstage. The progression begins with voice and movement exercises to build a foundational vocabulary, followed by activities in improvisation, clowning, physical acting, and scene study. The class culminates in monologue presentations that play to each student’s individual needs and strengths. Students of all abilities are encouraged to attend.  

Class size is limited to 12 students.
