YOUNG PROFESSIONAL ACTORS CLASSES

Kirsten Clarkson
Please select the class you wish to register for:

All actors (and parents) receive the FREE SCHOOLCREATIVE YOUNG PROFESSIONAL ACTORS HANDBOOK. Parents are also invited to a FREE PARENTING THE DREAM workshop held once a month.

Our Young Professional Actors Classes are designed to replicate the experience they would have on set and move them forward in their careers. For the most effective education, and best results, it is recommended that actors take these classes in succession unless they have previous experience or training.

Actors taking these courses must be comfortable without parents in a classroom situation. At the completion of a class a progress report will be given to parents. This report is quite effective for agents.

To book your spot call Kirsten @ 604.408.8550 or email info@schoolcreative.com!
