AN ACTOR'S PLAYHOUSE
Crafting Future Stars
Our Vision
At AAPH Academy, our vision is to be a fun, inspiring space where actors feel free to learn, grow, and explore their craft. We envision a community where passion is nurtured, talent is refined, and the realities of the actor’s life are openly explored. Through training, resources, mentorship, and industry insight, we aim to equip our students not just for roles—but for a lifelong career in the art of performance. At An Actor’s Playhouse Academy, it’s all about passion, community, and bringing your talent to life.
Our Mission
LEARN: We are firm believers in backing up talent with knowledge. Learning is a continuous process, and we encourage all our students (and actors in general) to constantly acquire more knowledge about their craft.
​
GROW: “YOU ARE YOUR ONLY COMPETITION” - And that’s why we encourage our students to continue to seek growth. So that their next performance on-screen is better than their last.
​
PLAY: “ALL WORK AND NO PLAY” ... We all know as the saying goes which is why we are dedicated to making our environment not just a place of learning but also fun! Creativity thrives in positivity.
​
ACT: It wouldn’t be an ACTors Playhouse without ACTING. Which is why we host a Talent Showcase where our qualified ADVANCED level students are given the opportunity to share their talent with industry professionals, which often leads to them booking jobs.
