Actors Training Ground is the first acting studio in the Raleigh area to offer an 9-week acting intensive ending with a public presentation of a one-act or full-length production. It was first introduced in 2015. The intensives are styled after an acting conservatory: combining rehearsals for a production while taking a full schedule of classes.
In addition to one-act or the production, the students also take 4 Master Classes and 2 Professional Development Classes to further along their eduction for stage and film. Past Master classes have included Style of Performance, Script Analysis, Improvisation, Movement for the Actor, Shakespeare, and Stage Combat. For the complete experience you can add our panels to your program. The summer Intensive also includes: a Director's Panel and a "Working with an Agent" panel with Talent One Talent Agency, How an Actor Prepares panel and. 20-minute headshot session with Jane Bonin of Covershot Classics Photography.
​
Due to the intensity of the curriculum, the Acting Intensive Program is open to actors who understand the principles behind acting or have a serious commitment to learn quickly.

Class size in the intensives is limited to 8 - 10 participants.

The intensives are a great way to get the feel of conservatory training by combining classes and scene study/production work. It prepares the actor to utilize their time management as well as integrate the practices learned in the Master Classes. The intensive is not a like the regular session classes which focus on the principles of acting. The intensives are geared towards the actor who already has an understanding of the basic acting skills needed.

You are able to make a non-refundable deposit of $550. This is done through an invoice. Please contact Actors Training Ground if you need to make payments arrangements for the intensive. The invoice serves as an agreement that you will pay the balance due prior to the start of the intensive or a set date that you choose.
​
What classes are offered in the Intensive?
With every Intensive we try to change up the classes being offered. This allows students to repeat Intensives without taken the exact same Master Classes every time.
​
What is the production?
Because of the nature of the Intensive, we can't know the class dynamic and therefore, the production is chosen after everyone has registered so a script can be picked. The rehearsal process is a combination of a class-like environment but also treated like a professional community theatre production.
