Teen Classes

Teen classes are open to all young artists, regardless of prior experience or training.

The Fall Semester runs the week of September 1, 2026 through November 21, 2026. Sharing week is November 17 – 21, 2026.

There are so many things that make ATMTC special. I could focus on the top-notch vocal, dance, and acting instruction. I could focus on the super entertaining stage productions. I could focus on the friends the kids make. But this time I'd rather focus on the staff. You can't help but feel it in every conversation, every interaction. The teaching artists, directors, and even those who work behind the scenes...they will blow you away with their passion for not just the performing arts but also for your child in particular. As a parent, that is everything.

My daughter has really enjoyed her class! She is excited to go every week and feels like it's a great combination of fun and learning new skills. It's great that she is getting a chance to meet new people in a fun and creative environment. That does not always happen with after school activities.

My children had so much fun and learned so much. As a parent it was also a joy to watch my kids come home and put on the music and rehearse their dance steps and lines. I was extremely proud to watch them perform in the Circus Circus show today.

Mini Play 2 (Grades 5-8)

If you have taken Mini Play and are ready for more challenges as a young actor, and want to deepen your knowledge of drama through collaborative storytelling, this is the perfect way to continue those theatrical studies. Continue your knowledge of building characters as you study more advanced blocking, explore spacial awareness, character objectives and obstacles, and continue working on your performance techniques. Although this class is meant for ensemble creations, students will also have a brief introduction to monologues. Mini-Play 2 students will also get to explore some of the technical and design components of the theatre such as props, costumes, and sets. The class culminates with a Sharing Day for family and friends on the last day of class.
