ACTING classes

Welcome to the ESPA ACTING Department!

“If you’re looking for an excellent, comprehensive, and nurturing place to work at your craft, with people who are as passionate as you are about their work, come to ESPA. Every time I teach, I feel more excited about the theater because I am so moved and inspired by the students.”
