Where
Your Story Begins...
Karen Ryder Theatre School classes provide a creative outlet to support each students distinctive journey, enabling them to find their own voice, their own style, and their own way in the world. We respect that everyone attends for their own reasons, and we allow these reasons the space to breathe, grow, and develop. We nurture, empower and inspire students to be exactly who they want to be. And along the way, you might just discover some hidden talents and give your heart over to the world of theatre.
