1st Semester Academy
October – December 2022
"Our classes cover all of the different skills needed to run a theatre. "
The 1st Semester Academy opens for registration on August 13, 2022. Classes take place at our studios at 177 Naghten Street, Columbus OH 43215 (Downtown) with opportunities to experience the many aspects of theatre from costuming, acting, scenic design, and movement to teamwork and building friendships. These classes are designed for a range of experience levels, though we do ask that your students come with their own passion and excitement for learning!
