Youth Actor's Classes Move To Avon Location

AVON, CT - Education @ Hartford Stage is launching a series of youth acting classes next month at The Complete Actor Studio at the Riverdale Farms Shoppes in Avon. The classes will be for those ages 7 to 14.

The new location is intended to provide more convenience and increased access for families in north Hartford County towns like Avon, Canton, Granby and Simsbury, according to a statement from the organization. The creation of this new program sprung from a longstanding relationship with The Complete Actor Studio’s owner and artistic director Erica Lubonta.

“We are so excited to be working with Erica and The Complete Actor Studio in this new capacity. Erica has taught in our studio for several years, and we quickly discovered that the way we approach theatre education is quite similar,” said Jennifer Roberts, Director of Education for Hartford Stage. “This new partnership came out of the conversation: how can we work together to make our programs accessible to as many kids as possible? Our hope is that these classes introduce new students and families to both studios.”

Lubonta said, "I am very excited about this relationship. Hartford Stage has always been synonymous with excellence. As a teaching artist for the Education department, I have worked with the best professionals around. I know they will bring quality performing arts experiences that will greatly benefit families in the area."

The Complete Actor Studio is located at 136 Simsbury Road, Building 16, in Avon. For more information on the new youth acting program, visit this site, or call Grace Clark, Education Enrollment and Marketing Coordinator, at 860-520-7244.
