Combine imagination with technique!
Whether your child is shy or outgoing, Gateway Academy classes provide performance and life skills for youths to express themselves confidently. In these classes, students develop acting skills integral to all theatrical disciplines, including ensemble-building, storytelling, and character creation. Not only are students expanding their physical, vocal, and communication skills, but they are also learning transferable skills such as confidence, focus, listening, and trust-building. Our students get the unique opportunity to experience training inside a professional theatre in a safe and supportive environment. In addition, Gateway students are given exclusive access to some of our Mainstage show rehearsals and ticket discounts for Academy families!
New this year, we are proud to offer Acting for Stage and Film (Ages 14-18), the first youth acting program in the Lower Mainland to integrate instruction in both Theatre and Film performance!
ACTING SESSIONAL CLASSES (Fall & Winter)
Sessional classes are the perfect intro to our Acting classes at Gateway Theatre. At the culmination of each session, our classes dazzle with an Open Studio experience.
