CastleCo Acting Academy features weekly, year-round classes where participants will be instructed in a vast range of acting (and acting related) disciplines, that are tailored to participants' ages and experience levels. Students will be added on a first-come, first-served basis and fees will be automatically drawn at the start of each month. Acting Academy classes will have limited spots available; 14 students per class (grades K-6), 10 students per class (grades 7-12). Students will hold their spot for as long as they desire to continue in the class.
