The Acting Studio was founded in and is owned by husband and wife team, Victoria and Dan Watson. Victoria has over 32 years of experience in the industry. Dan has over 33 years of experience in Musical Theater Education and has taught locally at private schools such as Berkley Prep in Tampa.
Together, Victoria and Dan created the entire Musical Theater Department curriculum that is still used today. Dan has a vast amount of experience in Stage Craft, Production, and Technology. The Acting Studio is the result of the passion and vision both Dan and Victoria always wanted to create. A place where you can dream big, be creative, and find your own voice in a nurturing environment with no judgment. Each student is trained in a nurturing environment to reach their full potential.
We teach teamwork and peer support. Our teachers feel it is their job to help every student achieve their personal best in an atmosphere free of judgment or competition among their peers. This means that we give the time necessary for each student to succeed and that we have multiple casts so that every student is given the opportunity to have an active role that they care about.
Whether you are looking for a safe environment to discover your talent or the professional skills needed for a career, the Studio covers everything needed to be successful!
We are also supportive of our parents and offer flexible scheduling and the ability to create your own schedule when it comes to additional rehearsal and performance times — we know life can be crazy and we want to make things as easy as possible while offering your child a place to grow up and be successful.
