Performers Theatre Workshop

Established in 1984 by Esther and Howard Kravitz, Juilliard graduates and longtime educators and performers who drove all over New Jersey and Manhattan to give their two children all the lessons young performers require, Performers Theatre Workshop (PTW) is designed to meet every students performing needs "under one roof."

With over 70 classes on Saturday and throughout the week, PTW offers instruction to students ages 3 to 18 in all areas of the performing arts. PTW can tailor a program to suit any student's interests and stage of development. We offer individualized instruction as well as group classes.

Performers Theatre Workshop is dedicated to teaching the skills needed to cultivate the singer-dancer-actor in an environment of sensitivity and concern for each individual's particular needs.The program is based on the principle that all of the elements of theatre-dance, acting, and music-are necessary to develop the total performer and therefore it is suggested that a variety of courses be chosen from these main categories.

Since 1983, PTW has held its commitment to providing pro-level training from elite faculty and creating a supportive community that empowers young artists to flourish on whatever path they choose. Join us this summer for in person training, live performing, break-throughs, and fun guided by our award-winning faculty who have graced the Broadway stage and slain the silver screen.

Your child can reach their full potential at PTW -- with lots of learning and lots of fun! Our expert faculty will engage & teach your child with knowledge, care and passion. The PTW Professional Track is for students who are currently working professionally or who aspire to work professionally. This special series of classes offers an in-depth immersion into the process and technique needed to audition successfully.

Master teachers, who are conservatory trained and have performed on Broadway, TV or Film, ensure your child is learning sound techniques. Teachers at PTW are chosen for their success in the arts and their ability to train students to reach their full potential in a patient and caring environment.

Quality of instruction really does matter; mediocre instruction often leads a child to bad habits that get in the way of your child reaching their potential and their performing arts goals.Your child will learn accurate techniques from someone who has worked in the highest professional settings. Thorough knowledge of the subject and knowing how to teach it effectively means the straightest route to growth and progress.
