Acting For Kids & Teens

"I had an exceptional experience at The Studio NW! I attended an event that showcased local actors, poets, musicians, and more. The atmosphere was vibrant and fostered a sense of community. The studio, led by a team of remarkably talented and professional individuals truly supports the creative journey. It's a hub where careers thrive and connections are made. Grateful for the positive impact this space has on the creative community!"

"Acting for Kids & Teens is a true gem! It provides a fun, loving, safe space for your children and teens to connect with other like minded individuals and learn to express their creativity. Katie and all of the coaches have a real gift for connecting with children and getting them out of their comfort zone to help them grow in confidence. My daughter has had an amazing experience with this studio and I would highly recommend it to others who are considering the studio!"

"It has been an incredible experience to have our daughter and son in classes at Acting for Kids & Teens. The acting teachers have encouraged them to take risks, work as a team, learn new skills, and grow as performers, artists, and humans. And all of this while having fun! It's truly a remarkable program in Portland - we are deeply grateful."

"Katie O'Grady and all of the coaches here at this studio are absolutely wonderful! I am a current actor in LA and graduated with Honors and a Theatre and Music degree from Pepperdine University, and am so thankful for the time I spent in this studio! It better prepared me for my future career, and did so in a loving, safe, and supportive environment!"

"5 BIG STARS for Katie O’Grady, Jessica and the whole crew at the Acting for Kids & Teens studio. What an incredible place we have in Portland! We (both parent and child) have had nothing but great experiences with the studio from learning the craft of acting in weekly classes to opportunities to be in and know the process of movie-making all the while being surrounded by other fun, young creatives and teachers. Not only do they provide quality training but do so in a supportive, loving environment that is SO important for children, especially in this industry. It’s very clear that they care about children and work to support their interests in a fun and encouraging manner. My daughter, who’s interest in theatre developed into a passion, recently signed with a talent agency and we are so grateful for the solid foundational training from Acting for Kids and Teens and their continued support both inside and outside the classroom. If your child likes performing you cannot go wrong with Acting for Kids & Teens!"
