Welcome to our 2017 Fall Session of classes. At Gateway School for the Performing Arts (GSPA), we offer a comprehensive array of classes, workshops, and intensives for students of all ages and skill levels. Whether you’re a beginner, a musical theatre enthusiast, a comedian, or a serious actor, there’s a class designed specifically for you, each culminating in a final presentation for family and friends on our Main Stage!

We strive to provide a nurturing and inspiring class experience which is practical, yet memorable enough to last a lifetime. We believe in a cumulative approach to the craft of acting and that training cannot happen in one class or one session alone. If you are a new student and need assistance choosing a path, you are encouraged to email us to ensure your placement in the appropriate class. Please note that accelerated classes require a recommendation. If you have prior experience at Gateway or believe you have comparable experience in another program, please email us for approval.

To enroll now, click on the INFO link in the corresponding class titles or call the Box Office at (631) 286-1133.
