Live Arts offers year-round, process-driven educational opportunities for adults, children, and teens. Our studio classes, workshops, camps, and youth programs allow seasoned and emerging artists alike to explore all aspects of theater, including acting, playwriting, script analysis, improvisation, musical theater, movement, design, and more.
"Live Arts offers an indispensable gift to our town by creating space for children, teens, and adults alike to discover, rediscover, and explore the infinite possibilities, challenges, and victories of theater making."

(18+ years old): Sundays, 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM, September 26 - November 21
For performers 18 and older, this studio focuses on working through “two handers”. This is a scene in a show with two performers and is a critical part of any performer's toolbelt onstage. Operating on a two-week rotating basis, the first week is focused on working on the text, while the second week is focused on performing and receiving feedback. This will help strengthen those acting muscles and gain insight into what your stronger skills are vs. what we can work to improve! All studios are open to any and all skill levels.
(21+ years old): Saturdays, 12:30 PM - 3:30 PM, October 10 - November 14
STRETCH WORK focuses on expanding the acting range of participants. All actors have natural strengths and weaknesses; through highly structured, unscripted scene work Ronda Hewitt will focus actors on those challenging areas. Over the course of the class sessions, participants will find that the weaknesses themselves become strengths. This method is a profoundly effective way to continue growing as an actor, and a safe way to explore roles one may have shied away from without any negative repercussions. For this advanced acting class, participants will need a resume listing prior acting credits and/or college study of theater. Three hours each week will fly by and there is no memorization or outside rehearsal time needed.
