Overview about Adult Courses

“Walking through the doors of the Abbey (now Flying Turtle) literally changed my life. It introduced me to a world of creativity I didn’t know existed and I got to meet great people and began to develop my craft in a safe environment. Kathleen sets the tone, calm, inviting and encouraging. I’ll be forever grateful to her.”

John Connors, Actor/Writer, Patrick in Love/Hate, Cardboard Gangsters,  IFTA Winner Best Actor in a Leading Role – Film  2018

In order to provide the highest quality of tuition for each participant, adult class sizes are limited to 12 students maximum (some are even smaller, depending on the course). As a result many courses fill up far in advance of the start date so be sure to reserve early and get deposits in. This page is for the adult course options. Click hear for youth courses.
