Acting and Theater Classes

Kids acting in a play in Thousand Oaks

Gold Coast Theatre Conservatory currently offers class on Sunday mornings from 9am to noon. During each term we teach a wide variety of topics, from acting to history, that we believe gives each student a well-rounded and comprehensive education in theater.  Below is a sample curriculum for what the coming term may look like.  The timing of various topics may change throughout the term depending on student readiness and other factors.
