Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! No previous experience is necessary to join any ACTE program. Our courses welcome both complete beginners and experienced students. This makes for a great dynamic within our groups.

Our teacher to student ratio is 1:8.

There is always a singing and dancing component. If certain campers are not keen on singing or dancing, we will create a special role for them so that they are happy and comfortable with what they are doing.

We offer a walking shuttles from schools that are up to a 20 minute walk from the students’ local schools. Check to see which classes offer pick-ups from your child’s school

After reading the script we ask our students to list their top 3 roles. It gives us an idea of the types of characters that they are interested in. We try our best to fit them into one of those roles. At times we pick a role that they might not have chosen for themselves but that we think will challenge them further or will teach them about the importance of ensemble work. Everyone gets at least one role and a lot to do on stage. The main characters are always shared among several performers, each taking on the role for a few scenes. There are no “stars” or “leads” and everyone gets an opportunity to shine.
