Join us this summer at HB Studio for an immersive, week-long acting experience designed for teens ages 13–17. This dynamic intensive runs Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, offering young performers the opportunity to develop their craft in a supportive and inspiring environment.

Students will train with a team of experienced teaching artists in three core disciplines essential to every actor’s toolkit:

• Acting with Daniel Carlton
• Voice & Speech with Craig MacArthur Dolezel
• Movement with Demetrius Blocker

Through focused daily classes, participants will build confidence, strengthen their physical and vocal presence, and deepen their connection to character and text. The program emphasizes ensemble work, creative exploration, and practical techniques that students can carry into future performances and training. Whether you’re new to acting or looking to sharpen your skills, this intensive provides a rigorous and fun opportunity to grow as an artist alongside peers who share your passion. 

Session Dates:

• July 13-17
• August 3-7

Price for one session: $900.

Please bring a lunch. Teens also have the option of leaving the premises during lunch as long as a guardian approves it upon registering. 

An intensive course of study for both the pre- professional and professional actor, meeting 3 days a week over 6 weeks. This powerful work relaxes the actor into the truth of themselves and removes impediments to an actor's effective use of their instrument. It explores improvisational exercises and scene work to improve concentration and responsiveness culminating in a scripted scene. The Meisner 6 week Intensive has launched the careers of artists such as Robert DuVall, Jack Nicholson, Diane Keaton, Jeff Goldblum, Sam Rockwell, and Anthony Hopkins.

Jessica Hecht leads this special 2-session scene and script analysis workshop. This workshop is for professional performers who desire to return to, or maintain an ongoing relationship with a dynamic and fertile state of learning. The goal: to use the specifics of language, action, subtext, circumstance, and relationships in order to connect with the work at the deepest most personal level. You are encouraged to push boundaries with the aim of building ever more complex characters and situations, allowing and exploring what is powerfully, unexpectedly revealed. Note, this is not a performance oriented class, but rather a process oriented one.
