Beyond the weekly class
Kids and teens · One week in June
Valleywood Movie Camp
An original movie. Kids and teens audition, film and premiere it, all in one week.
Ages 17+ · Four times a year
The Masterclass
The deepest work we do. Two full days of scene study, every scene performed and critiqued out loud.
One-on-one · By appointment
Private Lessons & Self Tapes
An hour where nobody else is in the room and the attention is entirely yours. For actors with an audition on the calendar, and for people who want to get better at being watched.
The why
Why every program is two classes.
Two halves of the same pie. Great script should look and feel like improv. Great improv should look and feel like a play you have rehearsed, memorized and blocked. The two feed each other.
Why there are no levels.
Mastery-level training means training with the perspective of never-ending growth. A beginner and a working actor can be in the same class, and both leave better. Nobody gets the same note.
Why every class is on camera.
We believe in the game tape. The teaching is recorded, the class is recorded, and the recording lives in your private actor portal.
Both classes together are $370 a month for adults and teens, $230 for kids.
