Teen classes

The Berkeley Rep School of Theatre aims to provide committed high school students with the opportunity to study with professional theatre artists. Students will learn the fundamentals of professionalism, the rigors of the rehearsal process and the art of performance.

School of Theatre students have gone on to study theatre at some of the nation’s top colleges and universities, including: Barnard, Columbia, Northwestern University, NYU, Sarah Lawrence, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC Santa Barbara, UC Santa Cruz, University of Washington and Vassar.

scholarships

Berkeley Rep School of Theatre is pleased to be able to offer financial aid for students enrolling in our youth and teen classes. Scholarships will be granted to students attending classes who demonstrate a strong financial need. Financial aid will be disbursed on a sliding scale—eligible families generally receive scholarships covering between 30%–100% of tuition.

Families applying for financial aid must submit a minimum $25 deposit per student at the time of registration. This amount secures the student’s place in the program while their financial aid application is under consideration. This deposit is refundable if the registration is cancelled by the end of the first week of class.

Download our application form or call the Berkeley Rep School of Theatre at 510 647–2972.
