For eager and imaginative students as young as three to high schoolers taking the first step towards a theatre career, our classes fuel creativity and reinforce the tools to help all skill levels improve and develop their acting craft.
It’s more than just acting. Our classes help form well-rounded, articulate and empathetic individuals. Whether your student is just discovering their voice or is ready for master-level instruction, we have the perfect courses to help them grow and thrive.
We’re no strangers to teaching, engaging more than 145,000 students each year through on-site classes, in-school programs, student matinees and Theatre for Young Audiences performances. Students learn first-hand from our professional teaching staff, who bring decades of professional experience to their classes and curriculum. All personnel undergo extensive training and screening, including background checks by the Colorado Bureau of Investigations. Please click here to learn more about our faculty.
Scholarships available! See details below.
DCPA Education classes empower children and their imaginations through the discipline of theatre. Creating theatrically rich opportunities to discover then shape and share creative expression is the goal in all of our children’s classes. We use dance, movement, music, visual arts and creative drama to encourage students to explore, reflect, imitate and understand the world around them. We strive to help students develop their voices, bodies and imaginations by teaching theatre skills that help them to grow – both physically and intellectually as artists and as people.

It’s more than just acting. Our classes help form well-rounded, articulate, and empathetic individuals. Whether your Middle School student is getting their start in Acting Technique or is ready to add Improv or other workshops to build their skills, we have the perfect class. Middle School classes also present an opportunity for performance and ensemble building through Teen Company. Through their experience in theatre, our students come to understand the importance of commitment, collaboration, grit, and revision.
(GRADES 9-12)
This year we launch new high school conservatory inspired programming.
Our goal in re-envisioning our high school offerings is to propel opportunities for artistic growth and challenge. From a fundamental base established with the Acting Technique and Acting Technique II classes, students will be offered opportunities exploring the diversity of quality theatre training and classes bringing the depth and experience of our work at the DCPA. The journey begins in Acting Technique this Fall and will continue with High School Acting Technique II in the Winter class session.
If you have studied with us before, Acting Technique is not a requirement, but you are welcome to join class to continue strengthening your craft. If you are new to our classes, please start with Acting Technique and any of the workshops. Workshops are open to all students new and returning.
Classes are held at the Robert & Judi Newman Center for Theatre Education at 1101 13th Street in Denver.
Please note: All on site class instruction and supporting forms are in English. If you need Spanish language support during the class registration process, please email community@dcpa.org to set up a phone call with one of our staff.
