TEEN PROGRAMS
If you want to make acting your career, get the lead in your high school show, or just learn more about theater, Black Box Studios' Teen Programs will give you the tools you need to improve as a performer or in your work behind the scenes.
Our teen acting programs are taught using an improv-based method that Black Box's founders developed during their years working in professional theater in New York. Our teachers start by working with students on the fundamentals of acting and musical theater, such as voice, movement, character development, script analysis, and song interpretation.
Students then put these skills into action as they perform scenes, songs, and productions of plays and musicals with their fellow classmates. All of our courses are performance-based and culminate in an end-of-semester production that is fully staged and open to family, friends, and the community.
Whatever their experience level or future goals, Black Box's Teen Programs will help students gain experience onstage and offstage, and have a lot of fun in the process.
