Acting for Film • DFW Metroplex
Train like you're already on set.
The Artists Playground is an intimate, coach-led acting studio in Addison. Our focus is simple: Acting for Film—truthful work, camera-ready technique, and real growth.
- Audit first, then enroll
- Work on your craft, on camera, every week
- On-Set experience with reel footage
One class. Three weekly sessions.
We offer Acting for Film—with three weekly time options so you can choose the schedule that fits. Tuition is $200/month (4 classes: 3 in-studio sessions + 1 end-of-month On‑Set Lab). In the On‑Set Lab, actors perform on set and leave with footage they can actually use for their reels.
