Level 3 delves into Dramatic Acting – especially the grounded, truthful style that is popular in Film and 1-hour Television.

After Level 3, students can audition into our performance troupe, CSA Company.

In CSA Company, you will add on another weekly class that is dedicated completely to making shows. Company members participate in all aspects of show creation, from concept to completion. This includes sitcoms, short format pieces, and live theatre.

You will also continue in your Advanced Acting Classes, building on all of the work you have done so far in Acting Theory, Improv, Performance Prep, Marketing, etc.

$297 Enrollment Fee: This is due the day after your successful audition. It is a one-time fee, as long as you remain continuously enrolled. Your Enrollment Fee covers some key tools that actors need, which will be yours to keep:

• Pop-up 5×7′ Blue Screen. This is the standard backdrop for self-tape auditions as well as Zoom workshops, showcases, meetings, and auditions or callbacks.
• Tripod Ring-Light. It’s a tripod that holds your phone for self-tape auditions. There is a ring-light attached to help make sure you have enough light directly on your face. You can fill in the rest of the light with windows, lamps, etc. unless you want to get even fancier with soft-boxes.
• Acting Class Binder. Each new student is given a 3-ring notebook with all the info and tools they’ll need to get started in class. Be sure to bring it with you to EVERY CLASS! It includes a pencil and highlighter so you can mark your scripts, and you’ll want to keep all your scripts, class info, feedback forms, notes, etc. in your Acting Binder!

$245 Monthly Tuition: Each month on the 25th, your tuition will process automatically for the coming month.

• The first month is the only big one financially, because you’ll pay the $297 when you enroll, then $245 later that same month to pay for the next month’s tuition. For example, if you audition on January 14th, you’ll pay $297 on 1/15, then your February tuition of $245 will process on 1/25.
• After that first month, it’s always the $245 on the 25th. We try to make the financial part predictable and sustainable for our CSA Families! No matter what that month’s event is, or how much it costs the school, you always pay the same tuition.
• If you need to cancel, you must provide written notice by the 15th of the month that you want to be your final month. If you have not yet completed your initial 12 months, an Early Cancellation Fee will apply.

Discounts and Scholarships FAQs:

• We are a Colorado-Family-Owned Business. The tuition our students pay is the only revenue we have. Therefore, we are not able to offer full scholarships because we wouldn’t be able to pay the rents, teachers, and special guests!
• We do offer a discount for siblings. If you have more than one student auditioning, please ask about it.
• We also offer a discount for students who are military dependents. Again, if this applies to you, please ask about it.
• For Little Kids (ages 5 to 7) who are in our Showbiz Kids Class on Saturdays in Centennial, your tuition rate is $195 per month because it is a shorter class.
