This is a great opportunity for families to learn more about summer acting classes and the positive learning environment that OCT creates. OCT offers classes in Acting, Musical Theater, Improv, On Camera Acting, and more! At OCT, we believe that theater skills equal life skills. Through our classes students learn confidence, teamwork, creativity, focus, and compassion. Classes are taught by a staff of professional theater and teaching artists, eager to share their knowledge and joy of theater.

Students should plan to arrive a few minutes prior to their class time (listed below) to allow enough time for parking and check-in, and wear clothing comfortable for movement. A brief Q&A will follow. New families can receive 20% off a Summer Acting Academy class when registering at the event!
