Essex Youth Theater, Montclair’s premiere acting school for kids for over a quarter of a century, is proudly in residence at Studio Playhouse.
At Essex Youth Theater, every child is a star. Our unique program lets every child shine.
Custom-written scripts provide every child with an equal role. Class size is kept small, with each child receiving lots of individual attention. And every semester culminates in a full-scale musical production.
Ours is an atmosphere of fun learning, where self-esteem and self-confidence are our primary emphasis. We provide a nurturing, caring environment where every child blossoms. Each child is gently encouraged to explore their natural creativity, build theatrical skills, and experience an indescribable feeling of accomplishment through the joy of performing.
