At the moment z/a is exclusively an adult acting class, with a minimum age of 18 years old.

When you audit a class you do not need to bring anything to work on or perform. Our classes are four hours long, so we do recommend bringing water, snacks, a jacket, pen and notepad. We ask that phones be silenced and put away during class.

We require 2 weeks notice if you decide to discontinue class and there are no refunds for leaving before the end of a four-week pay cycle.

What our students are saying…

Joan Powers

“After my first audit, I knew this was the acting school I needed to help me become a better actor. Over the last three years, I have learned how to create detailed and more specific characters in auditions and roles that I book. At Z/A we learn more than just scene study. We also study significant movies and plays of all genres past and present to be the most knowledgeable actor in the room or on set. I have learned so much from Rob and Peter and truly cherish the time I have spent with this welcoming community of actors.”
