Welcome to our kids and teens program! Our Actors Gym classes for kids and teens is lead by the wonderful Ms. KK (Karen Kron Dickson). Whether your child loves acting or is looking for a way to make friends, overcome shyness or just have some fun, Actors Gym provides a safe space for young actors to learn and grow at their own pace in a supportive and challenging environment.
