Creative development is integral to life, strengthening self-confidence and expanding infinite imagination.  We actively embrace creative thinking and positive energy.  Performing is not just about technique.  All performances tell a story.  The story you tell should be captivating.  Actor, singer or dancer... IF YOU HAVE IT WE WILL DEVELOP IT!

The entertainment industry of today looks for performers who can do it all.  We encourage our students to be multidimentional and provide TRIPLE THREAT training.  At THE IT FACTOR THEATRE ACADEMY, we teach our students to; 

ACT from your heart!      SING with your soul!      DANCE for your spirit!

If you think you're 'just and actor', 'just a singer' or 'just a dancer', let us prove you wrong. While we offer training in each individual facet, we want to develop you into the best performer you can be. Showing the industry something they haven't seen before get's their attention. Learn how to be the prepared performer, the open minded performer and the risk taking performer. Our courses are customized to cater to the individual needs and long term goals of each and every student, from Ages 6 - Adult, beginners and seasoned performers. We can help you get their attention and keep it!
