Stage 32 Next Level Classes

Stage 32 Next Level Classes are typically 2 to 4 week ongoing broadcasts that take place online using a designated software program from Stage 32.

Stage 32 prides itself on bringing in the top-level industry executives, managers, agents & professionals to teach our community about all things current in film, television and theater.

What's best is that you can participate from the comfort of your own home! If you attend a live online class, you will be able to communicate directly with your instructor during the class.

If you cannot attend a live class and purchase an On-Demand class, you will have access to the entire recorded broadcast, including the Q&A.

After the purchase of a live or On-Demand class, you will have on-demand access to the audio recording, which you can view as many times as you'd like for a whole year!

Check out some of our amazing instructors!
