About
Taught after school and on the weekends, The Theatre Lab's school year drama classes for kids are designed for students of all ages and experience levels—all led by professional, supportive faculty. Children as young as PreK3 can enjoy fun, camp-like experiences in our creative play classes, or learn and perform Shakespeare in an engaging, structured environment. Older kids and teens can study under prolific DC professionals and hone more advanced skills like intensive scene study, acting for film and TV, preparing for college auditions, and more.
Taught by some of Washington's best-known theatre professionals and educators, our classes emphasize the benefits of drama training both onstage and off—from increased self-confidence and communication and teamwork skills, to a desire to stay active in mind and body.
We believe that young artists, whether new to the craft or brimming with experience, deserve a place where they can be challenged. A place where they can develop superior theatre skills while learning to take artistic risks, explore new creative paths, and have fun doing it! Our school year classes meet students wherever they are and give them the tools to take their artistry to the next level.
