Classes
All of our workshops at JW actors studio focus on the work; the process one needs to experience in order to be the best they can be. To be a really truthful, honest actor is to embark on a journey that is not completed in a short amount of time. It takes commitment, discipline, and the ability to give it your all. One needs to be able to unlock their inhibitions, be open to new challenges and to let themselves really tap into and trust their creativity. If one is not willing to commit to being the best they can be then perhaps we are not the right place for you. For those seeking to be professional actors or for individuals looking to use these skills in other areas of life, I guarantee you’ll benefit from allowing us to guide you along this path.

Our Acting class is for students who are interested in exploring the craft of Acting or are simply seeking to satisfy a curiosity while opening themselves up creatively. The student will develop their own style through the various combination of techniques designed to allow them to fully explore the who, what, why, and where.

Improv Comedy Adults: Thursdays 7-9:00pm, September 16th-December 16th
Our Improv Comedy class for adults is designed to ease the student’s fear of improv by allowing them to develop the skills in a fun, supportive atmosphere. We have seen so many students enter the program not sure what to expect and then realizing a whole new, creative side to themselves. We start out working on basic improv games and theater exercises before we move into more advanced techniques designed to allow the student to fully explore their imagination and creativity. This class helps students to think more quickly on their feet, and to become a better actor, listener, communicator, collaborator, and decision maker. It builds tremendous confidence as well! These skills will serve you well not only on stage but in most any part of your life!
Improv Comedy (ages 12-17): thursdays 4:00-5:30pm, September 16th-December 9th
Our Improv Comedy class for teens is remarkably similar to our adult class. It differs only in the fact that we need to set some boundaries such as no foul language. It too is designed to ease the student’s fear of improv by allowing them to develop the skills in a fun, supportive atmosphere. We have seen so many students enter the program not sure what to expect and then realizing a whole new, creative side to themselves.
