Ongoing Classes
Students train with Professional AFK&T Coaches who are active in the film community with TV and Film credits and who greatly enjoy mentoring young actors. Ongoing Classes meet four times each month and are billed monthly. They are held during the school year, September through June. A variety of Workshops are offered throughout the year and over Winter, Spring and Summer breaks.
New students are welcome at any time! AFK&T is a safe place for students to explore who they are, build confidence and express themselves as actors and individuals within our greater community. Everyone is welcome! Classes focus on:
- Actor training for TV and Film and auditioning, scene study, character-development, on-camera technique, Meisner, Suzuki, Sense Memory, and Improv techniques, and working with an ensemble.

- Opportunities to perform in our exclusive Industry Showcase events and our in-demand Make-A-Movie Workshops.
