Conveniently located near Avenue Road and St. Clair Ave. West in downtown Toronto, the Avenue Road Arts School offers a wide array of drama classes for young actors. From improv acting classes to musical theatre classes, our year-long programs are run by qualified educators, actors and directors, ensuring a more professional approach.

Be sure to investigate our drama, acting and vocal classes as well as our advanced theatre programs. Every year the actors in our advanced theatre programs perform at two different theatre venues in the Greater Toronto Area.

We keep our drama class size small, so that our young actors really benefit from more individual attention and performance time. The Avenue Road Arts School drama program is one of the few in Toronto that uses a company-style approach. (See our downtown Toronto location.)

The relaxed and supportive environment in which all of our drama, acting, vocal and theatre students are taught, encourages our students to explore and express themselves in their own unique way.
