The Acting Teacher Training Schedule

NOTE: All students of this week-long teacher training are encouraged to stay after class to observe Crash Acting’s Scene-Study (Monday - Thursday evenings from 5pm - 9pm). We also understand students may have prior commitments.

While this is not required, staying for at least 1 or 2 classes is highly recommended to see the practical application of your training applied to a real classroom. This adds 16 additional optional hours to your program.
