          The Actors Training Center bases all classes on an ensemble mentality. Everyone is vital to the process of learning and especially to the art of trust and risk taking. Class dynamics shift when someone is missing. It is important for everyone to commit to being on time, being at class, and being present while in class. If a student is absent more than two classes for any reason, they may not allowed to participate in the final performance.

          A limited number of need-based scholarships are available.  Please call 847-251-8710 for more information.
