The Ensemble School, a division of Maryland Ensemble Theatre, is a professional theatrical training program with emphasis on exploring and refining acting technique and creativity.

The Ensemble School offers classes in Acting, Improvisation, Movement, Theatre Games, Auditioning and Playwriting.  These courses, along with internships though Maryland Ensemble Theatre, will provide each student with the knowledge and skills needed to enter the world of professional theatre.

Classes are held in twelve week sessions beginning in September and February.   The Ensemble School will also be offering summer performance camps for middle and high school students.  Regular session classes are available for students aged seven to adult.

Each twelve week session will culminate in an evening of final work entitled Twelfth Nite.  These performances are open to the public and allow each student the opportunity to perform in front of a live audience.  Regional theatre professionals are invited to attend all Twelfth Nite performances.

All Ensemble School classes are taught by working theatre professionals.

I started taking classes from The Ensemble School when they first opened their doors on October 2, 1995.  I took three years of classes and then taught improv classes for a year.  Call The Ensemble School at 301-694-4744 to sign up for their next class!  Since the first day of my first acting class, I knew I never wanted to be anything else but an actor for the rest of my life.  Click here to find out how I got into acting classes in the first place.
