Our Signature Programs

🌟 Acting for Stage

This is where it all begins! With a strong focus on storytelling through voice, movement and character, students build a solid foundation in acting. It’s the perfect place for kids and teens to express themselves, grow in confidence, and discover the joy of live performance.

👩‍🎬 Acting for Screen

Lights, camera, action! In this popular program, students step both in front of and behind the camera, learning everything from screen acting and directing to storyboarding and filming. It’s an exciting hands-on experience that brings film-making to life while building two powerful skill sets.

🎶 Act, Dance, Sing (Music Theatre)

Can’t choose between acting, dancing or singing? Why not try all three! This fast-paced and fun-filled program introduces students to the world of musical theatre, with a strong drama base and plenty of opportunities to develop skills in movement and voice. Perfect for curious kids and budding performers alike.

With age-specific classes for juniors, youth, teens and even adults, ADS is more than just a drama school—it’s a place where students grow, create, and shine. Our experienced, supportive teachers ensure every student feels seen, heard and valued.
