  • Caregivers, friends and families are asked to give students space during classes/rehearsals but are welcome to wait in our lobby if desired.

  • Students will be unaccompanied until the start of their classes. Please do not drop off earlier than 15 minutes before class start time.

  • If ever your Actor requires a little more space or attention than usual but reasons cannot be disclosed, please consider emailing us with simply “Handle with Care.”  Instructors will recognize that awareness will be in place of an Actor not presenting as their best that day.

  • Please be respectful of the space, the instructors, special guests and other class participants.

  • Please be prompt when picking Actors up from classes.

  • Classes that are missed or canceled due to student absences will not be made up.  Classes that are canceled by the studio WILL be made up.  Monologue classes will provide ONE make up class if student cancels due to weather. Singing classes will provide ONE make up class if student cancels due to weather and ONE make up class if student cancels due to illness.

Please note:
Performance-Based Classes have additional expectations.
