Hear from past students 〰️

“Everyone got feedback in front of the group, which helped people get more used to getting notes with an audience…I learned about what emotions I like to act out more and several rehearsing techniques for line memorization.”

“(Alyssa) made it fun for the kids and made them develop a love for singing and acting! My daughter learned confidence in performing, an activity she loved and was self-motivated to do, her ‘niche.’”

“My daughter got to use her creative brain and was encouraged to lean into her talents. She learned how to sing out and own the stage.”

Boise Contemporary Theater Classes

Interested, but finding none of these classes work for you? Fear not! I teach regularly in other places in Boise, and I’d love to see you there.

This fall, I’m also teaching Theater Lab and Stage One at Boise Contemporary Theater, classes where students create their own play, rehearse it, and perform it in a full production. You can find info about that below!

P.S. We also offer Outreach classes, where we will bring the program to you! Contact me here to learn more about that.
