2023-24 Actor’s Conservatory w/ Jillian O’Neil

REGISTRATION NOW OPEN!!

This intensive film and TV acting program runs from September 2023 until the end of May 2024. The program is available for different age groups ranging from age 9 through high school senior.

At the end of May, the students prepare for an industry showcase. They film selected scenes during the spring to demonstrate and highlight their acting talent. The students then have the option to perform a monologue in person in front of local professionals. The monologues are filmed, and the videos of their scenes and monologues are sent to all local and national industry professionals. Course enrollment is kept low to ensure that all students receive plenty of on-camera and individual coaching time.

Learning about the actual business side of the entertainment industry is also a large focus. Having the correct tools to audition is crucial, especially as we live in a very moment where things are changing constantly.

Hard work plus motivation and support are the center of this program. This program allows creativity and fun, while working towards their goals.
