why ccs studio?

At Crescent City Stage, we don’t just teach acting—we nurture bold hearts, creative minds, and compassionate humans.

Our youth classes are led by working professional artists who bring the stage to life with storytelling, collaboration, and care. We center community over competition, and offer a space where kids can be silly, brave, and fully themselves—onstage and off.

In every class, your child will build confidence, creativity, empathy, and ensemble skills—tools that last far beyond the final bow.

By enrolling, you're not only supporting your child's growth—you're also investing in a vibrant, values-driven arts community.

Find the Right Class for Your Child

My daughter absolutely LOVED class—she said it was one of her favorite classes she’s ever taken! She hasn’t stopped talking about how she wants to be in your class all the time. It was such a joy to see her so inspired. Thank you for creating such a special experience!
