We are Off the Wall
and we love theatre
We engage some of North America's finest backstage theatre artists to instruct and inspire learners. Our courses and workshops will bring you behind the curtain to learn how to construct and paint impressive sets; build props ranging from faux food to flicker candles; create breath-taking masks, scenic art drops and special makeup effects.
Every learning opportunity we offer is intensive and hands-on, conducted in a working studio where you receive one-on-one mentorship from our artist instructors. The goal of our mentors is to pass on the knowledge they have acquired through years of professional experience to the next generation of artists.
