After-school classes are offered Monday through Thursday, starting at 4:00 PM.  Each class runs 55 minutes and starts on the hour.  Classes may be occasionally canceled due to holidays or other events.

Our fall and spring classes are skills-based and not focused on producing a full show.  However, each class culminates in a demonstration of skills learned through the course.  That demonstration will be held during the final class, is open to friends and family, and is free to attend.

All classes take place at Penfold Theatre Company’s performance and rehearsal spaces in Round Rock, Texas, located at 2120 N. Mays Street, Suite 290.

Students build skills in acting, voice, movement, music, and ensemble work while developing confidence, creativity, collaboration, and performance technique.

No prior experience is required! Our classes are designed for both beginners and experienced performers, and all students are supported at their individual skill level.

No, unless otherwise noted, our classes are not audition-based.

Most of our classes maintain a student-to-teacher ratio of 15:1 or lower, allowing for personalized instruction and a supportive learning environment.

Students should bring water, comfortable clothes they can move in, and closed-toed shoes.  Instructors may request that students bring other items and materials. These needs will be communicated via email within 1 week of the start of class.

Penfold Theatre Company’s programs provide specialized, direct instruction in the performing arts. As a single-skill instructional program, we operate under the “Single Skill Program” exemption outlined in Texas Human Resources Code §42.041(b)(18). Because our focus is strictly on arts instruction rather than general childcare, we are not required to be licensed by the state.

Classes are led by professional teaching artists with extensive experience in theatre and education.
