Future Artists Teen Acting Camp

Give your teen the opportunity to train like a working actor this summer. Future Artists Teen Intensive is an immersive performing arts experience where young artists strengthen their acting skills, build confidence, and explore stage and screen performance through hands-on training in a supportive, creative environment.

Led by experienced teaching artists and working entertainment professionals, students train in LACAE’s professional theater in North Hollywood, where creativity, collaboration, and artistic growth take center stage. Whether your teen is exploring acting for the first time or already has performance experience, our instructors meet every student where they are while encouraging them to take creative risks, grow as performers, and build lasting confidence.

Students may enroll in either week individually or attend both weeks for a complete summer training experience. Each week features its own unique focus, curriculum, and showcase.
