Are you looking for a wholesome theatre experience where your child can learn and have fun? At the Academy of Children's Theatre we focus on building character as well as character building!  We desire to use the art of theatre to build character, confidence and creativity in the lives of children in the Colorado Springs area. ACT was started by two TCA moms, both with their degrees in Theatre Arts and professional acting experience.

During our workshops, students will explore many elements of acting, including character development, movement, voice, audition and improvisational skills. These will be taught through direct instruction, acting games and exercises, as well as rehearsing and then performing plays for parents and friends at the end of the week.

At ACT we provide:

  • A clean, wholesome environment with content that is safe and honoring for the whole family.
  • Small class sizes which allow more direct attention for each child.
  • Professional guidance from experienced and qualified directors.
  • The opportunity to perform in a one-act play. By using multiple, shorter plays, each student is given a more significant role, instead of a select few who get main roles in a single play.
