Do you offer make-up classes?
Unfortunately, no. Our teachers are all working professionals and their time is limited to the scheduled classes. Please make sure you can attend most classes before registering, as we do not discount or refund for missed classes
Are the classes online or in person?
Most of our classes are in person in our outdoor theatre in Topanga, except select classes offered remotely on Zoom. In-person classes take place on the main stage where the summer repertory season is performed, and in The Shelter, the historic home of Woody Guthrie on the grounds of Theatricum.
Can I join a class already in session?
Most class enrollment closes before the first day of class, so you would not be able to join a class already in session. There are a few exceptions (Improv, Playwrighting), but we do not offer discounted or pro-rated tuition.
Do I need to attend all the classes?
We encourage our students to attend all classes. Each class is designed to help you learn and grow sequentially and you will get the most out of the classes if you attend them all. There is no penalty for missing a class, but there are also no make-up classes or refunds for missed classes.
Do you offer any discounts?

I am not a professional actor. Is this a good fit for a beginner?
