The Summer Acting Academy is a one-week professional theater training program for young actors, ages 7 to 17, who wish to explore and develop their skills in all areas of performance.
Open to students of all levels of theater experience, the Summer Acting Academy provides quality training for the beginning actor, as well as advanced level study for the young actor with previous experience. All classes take place at the Canady Creative Arts Center.
