Theatre Arts Classes for All Ages in Downtown San Jose

A maximum of 15 students may register for each 10-12 week session. A second educator will be employed for every 15 students. Space is limited and registration is processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Receipt of registration does not guarantee enrollment. An orientation and confirmation package will be emailed upon acceptance.

Part of our mission is to bring people together from diverse backgrounds in a safe and productive atmosphere. We encourage students of every race, color, religion, ethnic, age, economic background, and ability to enroll.

All classes are closed. Visitors wishing to remain on property during the class are welcome to wait in the 3Below Theaters lobby where there is free wifi, restrooms, and a cafe. Visitors are welcome and invited to attend the final Showcase but are otherwise not able to attend the classes.

Class and performance schedules and artists/teachers are subject to change.

If a class is postponed, it will be rescheduled toward the end of the session.

San Jose Playhouse reserves the right to cancel any class if enrollment is insufficient and will refund received payments if the class does not go. Minimum class size is 8.

Full payment is due prior to the first class. Minimally, a deposit of half is due upon enrollment. When you enroll, you’ll see the option of paying in full or paying the deposit only. Payment with a credit card may be made online or by phone at the time of enrollment, or in person with a check made payable to Guggenheim Entertainment.

We are happy to offer payment plans as well as need-based full and partial financial assistance. For full financial assistance, a minimal contribution of time or money is required. The application must be submitted no later than two weeks before each class session. To request an application, please contact us. 

Registration and tuition fees are non-refundable once enrollment is confirmed.
