Adult Classes

Our adult education program is designed for professional actors with previous training and/or experience to hone their skills and continue developing their craft.  Rooted in Chance Theater’s mission of nurturing and supporting local artists,  each class is facilitated by a resident artist, Chance fellow, or special guest.  Each intensive delves into a technique or skill that expands the actor’s repertoire, deepens the actor’s knowledge, and strengthens internal connection.

Theater for Young Audience Series

Our Theater for Young Audience (TYA) Series entails adult professional actors performing in plays and musical designed to foster the educational and emotional growth of young people through art-based experiences. Shows normally run around 60 minutes and are always followed by an opportunity to meet and take photos with the cast.

In addition, each production will have one performance designated as a Relaxed Performance. These performances are specifically designed to welcome people who will benefit from a more relaxed environment, including people with an Autism Spectrum Condition, sensory and communication disorders, a learning disability, or under the age of four. Children under the age of 4 are admitted for FREE to our relaxed performances, so long as they are accompanied by an adult and not sitting in a seat by themselves.
