Great Great Great place for kids to get formal acting, training and preparation to be in front of a camera. Katie O'Grady is a wonderful person and is a delight to be around. Her staff are wonderful and courteous. The classes are fun, creative and the kids love it.

Hands down the best acting studio in Portland for young people! Perfect for those who may be a bit shy but want to explore their creative side, as well as serious actors looking for guidance in career building. Katie O'Grady provides a safe, judgement free space where actors of all levels and backgrounds can come to dive into fun, challenging work. I couldn't be the actor I am today without this amazing studio!

I’ve been training here for 3 years and it has been one the best choices I’ve made. The community, coaching and the opportunities you get here are unbeatable. I highly recommend joining the acting for kids and teens family!

I can not say enough good things about Acting for Kids and Teens. Do you want your child to grow in the arts, learn from working actors, walk into a room full of strangers and feel confident, make true friends, serve others, work hard towards a dream, all while having fun? Then there is simply no better place in the Portland area to send your kids.

It has been an incredible experience to have our daughter and son in classes at Acting for Kids & Teens. The acting teachers have encouraged them to take risks, work as a team, learn new skills, and grow as performers, artists, and humans. And all of this while having fun! It's truly a remarkable program in Portland - we are deeply grateful.

Katie O'Grady and all of the coaches here at this studio are absolutely wonderful! I am a current actor in LA and graduated with Honors and a Theatre and Music degree from Pepperdine University, and am so thankful for the time I spent in this studio! It better prepared me for my future career, and did so in a loving, safe, and supportive environment!
