Excite. Inspire. Create. Welcome to your Theatre. Learning is a process; it never ends. Such is the approach for Venice Theatre’s education programs. We offer a “no shortcuts,” high-quality theatre training program with top-notch, caring instructors. We also offer classes, camps, and workshops that are fun for all involved. Graduates of our program are currently working in the theatre field as professional actors and technicians. And they’re studying across the U.S. in prestigious theatre programs. Our graduates are teachers, medical students, and emerging writers. All of them will tell you that their theatre training─the problem-solving, the collaboration, the public presence─helped them grow in their careers. Each one will tell you that Venice Theatre classes and camps afforded them some of the most fun they’ve ever had. Whatever career young people pursue as adults, they will be more successful as a result of our arts education programs. They will be more creative, more disciplined, more conscientious…and more fun to be around. We also are proud of our adult students who keep pursuing new opportunities. They truly understand that learning never ends. So, whether you’re in kindergarten or a retiree looking to brush up on your theatre history or start a new stand-up career, Venice Theatre is ready to make a dramatic impact on your life!
