Award-winning Playhouse Northwest Acting School has now opened registration for the 2020 Meisner Classes. (Fall Quarter)     

Both Online and In-person Classes are now available.

The structured Meisner classes are the backbone of what we do. These classes are designed to be taken in sequence, each level lasting nine weeks. At each level, on-camera, improvisational, and business skills will be interwoven into the curriculum.

If you’re serious about transforming your acting, this is the place to start. For professional actors in film and television, it’s no secret that Meisner work is their superpower in both their life and their career. The benefits include a greater sense of truth, emotional depth, and flexibility in your work.

Beginners and experienced students are welcome. Outside practice is required. Students will work individually at their own level and will grow at their own rate.

On-Line Classes will run Thursday, October 8th, and run through Dec. 3rd. 

These interactive meetings will take place LIVE on ZOOM.

The class will meet each Thursday from 7:00 PM-9:30 PM PST. If a makeup or extra class is needed it will be held Thursday, Dec. 10th.

In December 2016, we rolled out the red carpet for the movie premiere of “Fearless,” produced & directed by Lisa Skvarla. This premiere featured 16 kids from last summer’s On-Camera Acting Camp for Kids 101 and 102. (Read more about our kids’ camps below.)

INTRODUCTORY ACTING  101
This camp (101) will encourage your children to use their imagination and to develop the techniques and confidence they need to create believable performances for the camera.
This camp teaches the fundamentals of acting by using basic techniques and fun acting games. Children participate in class and work on improving their basic skills for auditions, improvisation, martial arts/fight choreography, Meisner technique and scene study. This rolls into week two…..

On Camera Acting Camp For Kids 102 (Movie Camp! )
By the end of the week, all of our students will have the opportunity to demonstrate the skills they have learned by going into the 2nd week (102) and participating in their very own short film production! This student production will be cast, written, rehearsed, taped, and edited. Professional writers, directors, and make-up artists will be involved, as well as the film and television students from Central Washington University’s film school. The kids production will then be screened at a local theater or venue at a later date for their friends and family to enjoy. Sure to be a great time!! Ages 7+
