Meg’s Intro to Acting class is a great reminder that while Mighty Tripod is known for acting on camera, acting is acting. Listening, breathing, connecting, and working truthfully with text are foundational skills — whether there’s a camera six feet away or an audience fifty feet back.
This class isn’t about “stage acting” versus “on-camera acting.” It’s about building the kind of foundation that makes everything else easier: scene study, audition work, and on-camera performance included.
If you’re brand new and wondering where to begin, this class is one of the best first steps you can take.

WHO IS THIS 3 DAY WORKSHOP FOR?
Intro to Acting is a 3-day, 9-hour workshop for students age 13+ with little to no prior acting experience, as well as beginners looking to build a strong foundation.
CLASS DATES:
June 10 – 24, 6pm – 9pm (Wednesdays).
No previous training is required—just curiosity, openness, and a willingness to participate. Intro to Acting is designed to provide a clear, supportive introduction to the craft of acting and help students understand what modern acting training actually looks like.
This workshop was built for aspiring actors who are interested in learning how to connect with themselves, their voice, and their body in order to create a character and tell a story. Intro to Acting is a great starting point for the novice, and will provide a solid foundation for continued work on the craft at Mighty Tripod Acting Studio.

Classes are hands-on and collaborative, creating a supportive environment where students are encouraged to take risks, experiment, and make discoveries. Individual feedback is offered throughout to support both technical development and personal confidence.
