Actor Training Studio offers workshops for young actors

The Actor Training Studio announces a weekend workshop for young actors ages 12 to 16 this June, Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th. These workshops continue to use a convenient modular format that will give actors a well-rounded intensive in one weekend. Class size will be strictly limited to 10, to ensure individualized attention and instruction for each actor.
