Students will work directly with Barbara on the audition skills that can make a difference in the room, from making strong choices and taking direction to delivering an authentic, memorable performance.

Good things happen when you keep showing up to create with the same group of people.

Our adult actors come to ATC to keep learning, experimenting and challenging themselves. But somewhere between scene work, rehearsals and time in the studio, a community starts to form too.

A few moments with our adult actors lately! Join the community 👇

Coming up:
Short Film Lab | October 1
Adult Improv | November 8
