Master Actors | By invitation only
The Coterie’s Master Actors classes are invitation-only. Students can be nominated by their teachers from other Coterie Acts classes for either Acting Master or Comedy Master, or both. Once invited to be a Master Actor, students can continue to register until they graduate from high school, as long as they remain in good standing.
Master Class is a place for students to experience ongoing advanced theatre training. Students are surrounded by other young people and professionals who are excited about working together as an ensemble. Material for Master Class is more advanced and the content is more mature than what students might experience in their school theatre programs. Master Class members are often considered for Coterie mainstage productions and can be recommended to other professional theatres for casting opportunities.
Master Actors possess a passion for the craft, self-discipline, talent, commitment, and a desire to work as an ensemble.
Unleash your child’s future!
