The Shirlee & Henry Fonda Theatre Academy is dedicated to ensuring that all individuals have access to arts education. If you are interested in applying for a scholarship, please fill out our online application. The Director of Education will respond to your application as soon as possible.
In the effort to make theatre education as accessible as possible, in addition to scholarships, we also offer multi-class and sibling discounts. These are automatically applied at checkout.
FAQ
What time should I arrive?
Students may arrive up to ten minutes early for their class.
What if a student needs to miss a class?
That's okay! We know "life" happens. Please note, refunds cannot be made for missed classes.
May parents sit in and watch the class?
In order to help students let go of their inhibitions and develop a strong stage presence, we ask parents not to stay and watch their child in class, as it is often disruptive to the students.
What time should I pick up my child?
Classes are one-hour and your student's class end time will be listed in your confirmation email. A late penalty of $25 per each extra 10 minutes after the class end time will be imposed.
Will there be a performance at the end of classes?
Each individual class description will have information about performances, if applicable. Some classes perform at the Final Showcase, others have an informal final class performance, and others do not have a performance at all. If a performance is planned, it is intended to be very informal and almost always done without lights, sets, props or costumes.
