Children’s Winter Studio | Ages 9-13 | January, 2026 | Story Foundations — World Fables & Friends | Starting at $295

Where young actors learn imagination, clarity, and confident storytelling.

The Children’s Winter Studio is a seven-week training series built on imagination-forward Stella Adler principles.

Dates:
Jan 15 – Mar 5, 2026
Thursdays • 5:30–7:00 PM
Kerrville, Texas

Students learn how stories work, how characters make choices, and how to bring scenes to life through purposeful action—not performance tricks.

Class work centers on re-imagined fables, ensemble play, partner awareness, and creative problem-solving. This is a craft-based program taught by a conservatory-trained, union-level instructor using the same foundational tools taught to Adler alumni such as Marlon Brando, Salma Hayek, and Mark Ruffalo.

Designed for ages 9–13.

Small group. Serious fun. Real structure.

Only 10 total seats available.

Enrollment is capped at 10 students per session. Once a session fills, registration closes and the waitlist opens. When the waitlist reaches six confirmed families, an additional cohort is opened.
