Gary Spatz's

#flashbackfriday to before #covid19 when our teacher, Kara, worked with the kids on what it's like to be on set! It's important to us here at The Playground that our actors learn what it's like to be on a real set. We focus on both on-camera and off-camera skills. As our director and pro-teacher, Gayla Goehl always says, acting skills are life skills! #garyspatztheplayground #garyspatz #garyspatzteacherspotlight... #actinginla #actingclassesLA #actingclasseslosangeles #actinglife #act #acting #actingclasses #actinginhollywood #actingclassesforkids #kidsacting #hollywood #socialdistanceacting #socialdistancing See more

Congratulations to the one and only Dylan Sprouse on his role in "After We Collided!"

Some of our kids prefer to sit under a bunch of pillows. That's totally cool with us, we wish we could do the same all day! #garyspatztheplayground #garyspatz #actinginla... #actingclassesLA #actingclasseslosangeles #actinglife #act #acting #actingclasses #actinginhollywood #actingclassesforkids #kidsacting #hollywood #socialdistanceacting #socialdistancing See more

Introducing Joe, or as he calls himself, Big Joe! Joe is one of the best improvisation actors you know. Some may even call him the "master of improv!" He has performed improv all-over the 4 time zones and in Europe.

Today, we found out that you can still do fun Improve games even when social distancing! Wearing masks actually helps our students learn how to enunciate and speak clearer! That's one plus to wearing masks. #garyspatztheplayground #garyspatz #garyspatzteacherspotlight... #actinginla #actingclassesLA #actingclasseslosangeles #actinglife #act #acting #actingclasses #actinginhollywood #actingclassesforkids #kidsacting #hollywood #socialdistanceacting #socialdistancing See more
