Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Sign up for a Fall 2026 class through the enroll page on macguffintf.com, or email info@macguffintf.com first to talk through your goals and ask about scholarships..

Check with the group before you show up. You need to sign up first.

What to expect

Classes run on Wednesdays and Saturdays during each term, and the After School Program meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Youth classes are for ages 7 to 10 and middler and teen classes for ages 11 to 18. The pages read do not give class length or term prices, so ask the office before you pay.

Tips for your first visit

  • Auditions are held on the second floor at 2030 Sansom Street, behind a purple door, so look for that door on your first visit.
  • Ask about a scholarship before you pay. Applications are reviewed on financial need and take 2 to 3 weeks to process.
  • The company uses an opt-out photo policy, so tell staff early if you do not want to appear in photos or videos.
