Classes & Workshops

Arena Stage is excited to offer a variety of classes and workshops for adults and youth for all levels of experiences. Our programs aim to build confidence and offer a safe, supportive environment where participants can feel inspired and fulfilled.

Adult Classes

Scripted: An Immersive Script Reading Club
Scripted is your all-access pass to Arena Stage's creative process, from page to stage. This isn't your average book club—it's a front row seat to the art behind the art.

Musical Theater Dance Class
This high-energy class is perfect for dancers and actors who want to move, perform, and connect! Each week, you'll learn a new mini musical theater combo featuring expressive movement, character work, and storytelling through dance.

Unexpectedly Funny: Improv Theater Class
Learn the foundational principles and practices of improv, including active listening, ensemble building, accepting and advancing offers, and staying present in the moment. Each class is structured around a series of exercises and short-form scenes designed to build these skills progressively.

Youth & Family Classes

Kidchella
Get ready to kick off the morning in style with Kidchella, the ultimate 2-hour dance bash for babies, toddlers, and children up to 6 years old (and their grown-ups, of course!). It's a high-energy mix of funky beats, bubble-filled magic, and non-stop fun for the whole family.

Families are encouraged to come as they are and bring anything that helps them move—whether it's a favorite costume, a beloved stuffy, or just the best dance shoes. Whether attending for a playdate meet-up, a birthday bash, or a morning escape, Kidchella is the perfect spot for your family and friends to share smiles, moves, and enjoy quality time together.

Cost: Adults: $10, Children (ages 1 and up): $5, Babies (under 1): Free

Teen Audition Workshop
Step into audition season with confidence! This supportive, hands-on workshop is designed to help teen performers build strong, effective audition skills in a focused and encouraging environment.

Participants will explore key audition techniques, receive individualized feedback, and practice in a low-pressure setting that mirrors real audition experiences. The workshop will help teens choose and prepare material, make bold performance choices, and present themselves with clarity and confidence.

Whether preparing for school productions, community theater, or future opportunities, this workshop offers practical tools and guidance to help each performer feel ready to shine.

Space is limited—advance registration is required.
