AAS actors are encouraged to view their training as they would going to the gym. Our classes are not degree oriented or about completion - they are about maintenance and regularity. And folks, the most successful actors are the busiest when they are not working.

AAS TERM CLASSES FALL SUMMER WINTER (13 + 6 WEEK)

Our 13 week Term classes are offered once a week in the evenings during the weekdays while classes on the weekends take place during the day. 2 Instructors, mid-term and final reports help you monitor your progress and what you need to focus on to improve your work.  At the end of the Term, you get an opportunity to showcase your work for School Director, Dean Armstrong.  His evaluation serves to determine placement for continued training at the school and to give you a better idea of where your work falls within an industry standard.

While our 6 week classes follow the same mandate, they take place during daytime hours and happen twice a week.  The compressed structure means that you work with one instructor for the full 36 hours and receive one final evaluation.

As you advance in your training, you get a chance to work with guest casting directors and directors too – I mean, your training cannot get any more relevant than that.

AAS INTENSIVES SUMMER (4 DAY + 2 WEEK)

Our 4 day and 2 week Audition Intensive classes are offered only during the summer months.  These classes are ideal for actors wanting to meet the challenge of multiple auditions in the same week and sometimes even in the same day.
