New Fall Acting/Impov Pop-Up Classes:
At Massachusetts Academy of Ballet in Holyoke
Join BBJ Vocal Coach and Acting Mentor, Ashley Morris, as she explores the fundamentals of Acting/Improv Principles for youth and teens ages 8-17 in this Once-a-Month Pop-up Series: Sept 22, Oct 20, Nov 17 and Dec 15, 2025. In this class, you will learn about how acting is reacting. We will dive into everything from improv, to scene work, to how to develop a character. Theater helps to instill self-confidence and promote young minds to embrace who they are as an individual and not be afraid to stand out from the crowd. We hope to offer this class on our regular schedule starting in January 2026!
No prior acting experience necessary.
