Teen Intro to Stage Acting (8-Week Class) – Bridge Street Academy

Bridge Street Theatre has announced the launch of Bridge Street Academy, a new community-based arts education initiative designed to serve students of all ages through creative, hands-on learning. The Academy will debut this winter with two multi-week performance classes for teens and adults beginning January 31, 2026.

Bridge Street Academy is designed to foster creativity, confidence, and collaboration through theatre and performance training. While the program’s initial offerings focus on acting and improvisation, the Academy plans to expand to include additional artistic disciplines in the future.

The inaugural session will be taught by Timothy Dunn, Associate Artistic Director of Bridge Street Theatre and a longtime New York City actor, director, and improviser with Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre.

The first class, Teen Intro to Stage Acting, runs for eight Saturdays from January 31 through March 21, from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Open to students ages 13–17, the class introduces young performers to theatre games, improvisation, ensemble work, and foundational acting skills in a supportive, low-pressure environment. Tuition is $150.

Classes take place at Bridge Street Theatre in Catskill, NY. Enrollment is limited.
