Acting Basics
Ages 8-11 and 12-15
Acting Basics is a 5 week/10 class course aimed at building a strong acting foundation. Both age groups will work in-depth in the areas of movement and space, character development, focus and concentration, and listening and reacting.The class will culminate in a group showcase of monologues and scenes or a short show.
Once an actor completes Acting I, they will be eligible to take Acting II. Acting II expands upon Acting I, offering a deeper understanding of acting techniques and audition etiquette.
Students that took Acting Basics in January/February 2026 should enroll in Advanced Acting. They may only take this class once.
All classes are non-refundable unless canceled by the Dallas Theater.
Advanced Acting
Ages 8-11 and 12-15
The next course, Advanced Acting (also 5 weeks/10 classes), is open to any student who has completed Acting Basics, been in a Main Street Players production, or has multiple years of camp/comparable experience. This class will build on the foundation they already have, go more in-depth with various acting methods and script analysis and learn more about creating life-like, nuanced characters through timing, tone, and body language.
Both classes offer workshops ranging from improv to mock auditions which ensure a well-rounded acting experience. Each class session culminates into a showcase of scenes and/or monologues allowing students to show the skills they’ve learned in front of an audience.
All classes are non-refundable unless canceled by the Dallas Theater.
