ACT-1 Academy for Children's Theatre

ACT-1 Academy for Children's Theatre ACT-1 provides the finest Performing Arts education in Los Angeles for students 7-18 years old. Production, classes, clubs, mentorship and more.

Welcome to our theatre family! ACADEMY FOR CHILDREN'S THEATRE is located in the Sherman Oaks area of Los Angeles County but serves children all over the San Fernando Valley. We are an educational organization founded in 2009, dedicated to providing an INCLUSIVE, NURTURING and CREATIVE environment for youth (ages 1-18) to explore the Performing Arts. The Academy's goal is to help develop well-round

ed and confident actors, singers and dancers. Equally as important to us is to provide a safe space for our artistic youth to build themselves a supportive community, create a strong work ethic, and grow in compassion and kindness. Not all of our students end up with a career in the arts, but they will take these traits with them into whatever they pursue! What is unique about our company is that we prefer to keep our classes limited in size so that we can give individual students more attention and so they won't get lost in the shuffle of a huge production. This way we can recognize and celebrate the uniqueness of each student, and get to know each and every one of them on a very personal basis.
​
At ACT-1, we promise that providing a high quality and creative learning experience in the theatre arts will contribute to your child's personal growth and carry them through life. Performing live has affected our students tremendously, by:

* Building their self confidence
* Teaching them to work as a team and seek connection with their peers
* Forging self-expression through taking risks in a safe environment
* Teaching them to trust and interpret direction from instructors
* Practicing professionalism, accountability & responsibility
* Strengthening their listening skills
* Instructing them how to speak in front of a group and project their voices
* Teaching them vocabulary, history, storytelling, subtext, and communication, which helps students in their academic life.
