Adult Programs at The Waldo
The Education Program at The Waldo invites you to bring your voice and creativity to the stage.
With a rotation of workshops and master classes, we aim to help participants explore
the many different ways to engage with the stage.
To learn more, check out upcoming offerings below!
Looking for an opportunity to be in a production? Unsure about auditioning or still waiting to be cast? Come perform on The Waldo stage! Under expert guidance from one of three local directors, participants will be coached through casting, guided through a rehearsal process, and celebrated as they take to the stage in a 10min play.
This is a hybrid program designed to be both acting workshops and a performance opportunity. Whether you are new to acting or looking to return, this series will provide the support and inspiration needed to perform in front of an audience.
The workshops are capped at 15 to ensure that everyone involved will have a role. Participants must be able to attend all six of the workshop and rehearsal dates.
Sign up now to secure your spot on the stage!
Teacher: Mia Branco & Guest Directors Michael Amico,
George Bates, and Laura Morris

Testimonials
“When I showed up for the storytelling workshop, I had a lot of fear about creating a story - let alone telling one live! The workshop was step by step and the staff was so supportive there was really no way I could have failed."
