WCSPA Students participate in conservatory style acting training that incorporates voice, movement, improvisation, stage combat, characterization, and theatre history.
WCSPA Students are empowered to discover their natural strengths and talents and use them to create compelling art.
From their first project learning and performing a piece from Shakespeare’s canon to exploring playwriting and performing in full-length plays, students are given myriad opportunities to learn and grow as actors and theatre artists.
Every student who is accepted into Level One is guaranteed a role in their two performances of the school year. Participation in plays after that is awarded by audition only.
