(UNION COUNTY, NJ) -- The Theater Project will present acting and improv classes for tweens and teens in Union and Cranford. These classes are designed to build confidence in young people and expose them to the fun and excitement of performance and working with others.

With over 30 years of experience, The Theater Project continues to offer affordable programming to the community. The new classes are part of the organization's mission of engaging young people in the performing arts and nurturing the next generation of theatergoers and artists.

"Our classes provide a welcoming place where young performers can explore their creativity and develop their talents," said instructor Anna Gundersen. "Theater inspires and connects people, and we're excited to offer these opportunities to kids in our community." Anna earned her B.A. in Theater from The Penn State University School of Theater and her M.A. in Educational Theatre, Colleges and Communities from New York University. She often performs at The Theater Project.

Classes will be held at convenient locations in Union (YMCA Wellness Center) and Cranford (Community Center), making it easy for families to participate. The Theater Project invites all interested young performers to join and discover the joy of theater.

Classes start Saturday, January 31, 2026 at Union at the YMCA Wellness Center, 1000 Galloping Hill Rd (mornings) and Cranford Community Center, 220 Walnut Ave (afternoons). For more information about class schedules and registration, visit thetheaterproject.org or contact The Theater Project directly at 908-809-8865.
