Acting Classes and more for Kids & Teens

Acting Academy for Kids sets itself apart from other studios and performing arts programs in several ways. Founders Stephen & Maggie Zygo both hold Masters’ Degrees in teaching, and they bring onto the AA4K team instructors who possess two distinct qualifications:

AA4K teachers are typically both professional educators as well as professional performing artists. Since our staff’s central purpose is to educate your son or daughter, we bring on the best teachers in town, not just the best performers. Teaching is a craft and talent that requires education and experience. That is why our teachers are actually real teachers (most hold valid CA teaching credentials). Because of our staff’s dynamic backgrounds in the arts and their dual areas of expertise, they are able to equip students with the tools they need to succeed in the performing arts.

AA4K programs are held at a genuine Playhouse, with performances taking place on the theatre’s mainstage with professional lights, sound, seating, and costumes. In addition to a real theatre experience, our flagship location, The Z Playhouse, is located at the Vista Paint Plaza in Mission Viejo. Our second location utilizes the Performing Arts Center at Community Roots Academy.  And our third location is at Lyceum Village in Irvine.  See our locations page for addresses and directions.

AA4K’s unique school programs will always be held within a school auditorium able to fully function as a real theatre.
