  • EnActe Conservatory – year long theater program 

Adult Education:

  • We offer bespoke workshops and maven classes designed in theater and film that serve writers, actors, and other creatives.

2025 Course Descriptions and Offerings

"Our students LOVED the Voice Action for Animation sessions! The two teachers for our sessions did an AMAZING job at connecting with our students, getting them excited to participate in each week's session and work on their projects in between sessions. I was impressed with the way they interacted with our students, truly engaging them in a way that's not always so easy to do on a screen! Students are asking for this to return in the new school year and we definitely have plans to do so. "
Jessica Vance,
Enrichment and Environment Coordinator: Laurel Mountain Elementary, Austin

"The EnActe School of Drama will go beyond learning a new skill and planting a seed for a future career option. Students who take this course not only leave with a professional clip of their work, but they discover a bit more about themselves. Students learn how to open themselves up to a real place, they learn to respect others who are different from them, they learn to work on something towards mastery, and the entire time they are fully engaged and having fun. I would recommend this course to all students bold and shy alike. Everyone who gets this opportunity will walk away with more than they had before they started."
Wendy Santos,
Teacher at Mahanay Elementary School, Alief ISD, Houston TX
