In one action‑packed week, students partner with the Academy of Arts to rehearse and perform a full‑scale production while experiencing chapels, small groups, discipleship, and professional theatre training.
These seminars offer Christian schools and homeschool families a high‑quality drama experience with an eternal focus.

Community Events
We have enjoyed hosting optional community events leading up to audition as they gave us a chance to serve families and build relationships as a new group. We hope to have more free, open to everyone events in the future!
In addition to Drama Seminar Week, we’ll host optional read‑throughs and other helpful opportunities to support students as they prepare for the experience.
See the information below and the Calendar page for activities & tentative dates.
