FAQs

Can I audit classes at the BHP?

Yes. You can audit the classes by invitation of a current student, or through the process of interviewing at the school. For the latter, you would schedule an interview and if that goes well, an offer to audit a class will be extended at that time.

What are the typical acting class sizes?

We generally run at about 35-50 people enrolled per class. Keep in mind that most of our classes are 2x-a-week, with ideally 10 scenes each week, and so a certain enrollment is what fuels that rate of scene production.

Does the BHP offer any special classes related to cold reading or auditions?

Yes. Once enrolled, you may take a class we offer that concentrates solely on the audition process. The class is offered in 4-6 week blocks. Actors get sides a day or two prior to the class, and then come in and do the audition at class as they would for a real job, receiving a critique on their preparation, their delivery, and their overall demeanor and confidence with this process. Occasionally we will do longer workshops that lead toward the introduction of camera work at the end, or with a visit from a Los Angeles casting professional.

How do I start at the BHP Acting School?

By personal interview. You set up a one-on-one meeting, and a trained BHP staff member will give you all the information about our approach and the commitment, etc. You will get a chance to ask any questions you have, and the issue of proper placement, tuition, and class choice is covered as well. This process takes no longer than one hour.

This information can be found on the FAQ page on our website.

Are there really no acting studios in Lakewood?

None on file: none of the 24 cards carry an address in Lakewood. Acting classes gather where the theatres and the production work are, so traveling to a bigger city for a weekly class is ordinary in this field. Check the local theatre as well, since companies often run classes without listing them as a business.
