ABCs of ACTING: Act And Fun! with Evgenia // Thursdays (Levels 2&3, With Mini-Show)
Basics of Acting & Improv in a fun way!
“Acting is a way of living out a hidden part of yourself.” - Glenn Close
Acting Course Overview
Ready to dive into the magic (and a little bit of chaos) and bring a full play to life? In this intermediate-level class with Evgenia, you'll team up with a small ensemble to rehearse, experiment, and perform a full production, ending with a cozy small show.
Our chosen play is The Clean House by Sarah Ruhl, a quirky, tender, and slightly surreal story about a maid who hates cleaning but absolutely loves telling jokes. As the lives around her intertwine, the play explores love, loss, and the strange, beautiful ways we connect with one another. Expect the unexpected, a touch of absurdity, and plenty of heart.
For this cast, we're looking for 8 women and 2 men. UPDATE: Men's spots are now full — women only! 🎭
Designed for those who have completed at least a beginner's course or have prior acting experience, this program takes your skills to the next level through advanced techniques, character development, and scene work, in a focused, supportive environment.

What are the differences between Acting and Improv?
Acting is more structured and script-based. You portray characters, memorize lines, and explore expression through body and voice.

Both boost confidence, creativity, and communication—but through different approaches.
