OSHKids don't just do plays, they LEARN! All OSHKids classes are tied to PA and national standards in theatre education. The majority of teachers hold PA teaching certificates and/or have a strong professional background in theatre.
OSHKids work hard, support each other, and become "family." You'll be in class with other kids who share a love of acting and theatre and are eager to learn and create. You'll become a disciplined, self-confident young person.
Some OSHKids become professionals! Many alumni of the Studio/School are working actors, or have been accepted into nationally-recognized training programs in acting and music theatre.
All OSHKids are real actors! The training at Open Stage creates skilled, imaginative performers with a solid technique and education in theatre. Promotion from one class level to another is by teacher recommendation only.
Registration closes one week before the start of class. There is a $25 late registration fee - please call 717-232-OPEN (6736) to see if there are any spots available.
