We are excited to announce a Master Class Camp this summer to help students grow in their acting skills AND learn more about the business side of acting. This intensive Master Class Camp guides actors to make the most productive choices in the art and business of acting for stage and screen.
Camp runs July 27-31 from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm at our studios. This is a non-performance camp, so students will be at our studios all five days.
This class is for the serious actor who wants to develop their acting skills and take their acting to the next level. During coaching portions of the class, students will take turns performing up front. Students will need to be mature enough to be quiet and respectful while other actors are performing.
Designed for aspiring artists, the Master Class Summer Camp introduces students to the core foundations of Mr. Peter’s Master Class program.
Drawing from over 35 years of experience in the professional industry, Peter shares the same proven principles and strategies he has taught to working artists who have built successful, long-lasting careers in writing, acting, directing, and producing across theatre, film, and television markets nationwide.
This hands-on workshop is designed to empower students with practical tools, creative confidence, and real-world insight—whether they’re just starting out or looking to take their skills to the next level.
