This isn't your average kids acting class...

At Forest Grove Performing Arts (FGPA), our classes and camps are where professional training meets creative play. We’ve designed every session to be a fun, supportive environment where young actors can explore, take risks, and discover the joy of performance.

A Curriculum Built on Professional Roots
We believe that young talent deserves serious craft. That’s why our programs introduce students to the foundational techniques of Meisner, Hagen, and Adler. Through these methods, your child won’t just memorize lines—they will learn how to listen authentically, connect with scene partners, and bring emotional truth to every character they play. It’s a professional approach, tailored specifically for young minds.

Fun Meets Foundational Training
While the techniques are professional, the atmosphere is always warm and encouraging. We balance structured learning with imaginative play to ensure that every student stays engaged and excited. Whether your child is a beginner stepping onto the stage for the first time or an aspiring actor looking to sharpen their skills, our small class sizes ensure they get the personalized attention they need to thrive.

Beyond the Stage: Building Confidence for Life
The benefits of our programs extend far beyond the final curtain call. By working through scenes, collaborating with peers, and stepping into the shoes of different characters, students naturally build unshakable confidence. They develop public speaking skills, emotional intelligence, and the ability to think on their feet—tools that will serve them in school and in life.

Join the Fun
From weekly after-school classes to immersive school break camps, FGPA offers a range of options to fit your schedule. Come join a community where your child can grow, make friends, and fall in love with the art of storytelling.
