Winter virtual classes for
ages 4 – 18!
We invite your young ones to continue playing, creating, and forming lifelong friendships – all from the comfort and safety of your own home. In addition to creating characters and scripts, young actors have opportunities to produce their own work. Each class has a focus that varies from musical theater to sketch, improv, scene study, film/TV and more, but are all rooted in the Atlantic Technique. All classes have limited spots!

Testimonials
“I just wanted to thank Atlantic Acting School for offering your camps remotely this summer. Your camp has meant the world to our daughter not only because she loves dancing and acting but because the teachers have done such a great job including all the kids. She’s really come out of her shell again.”
– Annie Judah-Shannon, Parent
“Thank you so much for the incredible experience you provided for my daughter. Being in rural south Georgia, there are very few options for her to work on and improve on her passion for acting. And to be able to do it remotely through one of the best theater companies in the country was surreal and wonderful, for her and for us as her parents.”
– Parent
