Overview

Designed for curious minds and creative voices, our  teens classes and bootcamps are immersive experiences in Acting, Public Speaking, and Personal Development. Each program combines hands-on practice, personalized guidance, and a supportive environment where participants can explore, express, and grow.


 Whether your child dreams of performing, writing stories, or speaking with confidence, our classes are designed to nurture creativity, communication, and self-expression in a meaningful way.

Our Classes prioritize depth over scale: small groups of maximum 12 participants, guided by senior theatre educators with over two decades of professional experience in performance and training.

Knowledge has little impact if it cannot be communicated."

About the trainer

Lama Najjar is an actress, educator, and youth development specialist who has spent her career helping children and teenagers grow in confidence, creativity, and self-expression through theatre.


After studying Political Science at the American University of Beirut and Drama at the University of California, Irvine, Lama built a career spanning television, theatre, advertising, and education. For more than a decade, she has taught Drama at Brummana High School, specializing in IB and A Level Drama, while mentoring hundreds of students through their artistic and personal development journeys.


At Najjar Academy, Lama focuses on programs for children and teens, using theatre as a powerful tool to develop communication skills, emotional intelligence, confidence, teamwork, and creative thinking. Her philosophy is simple: theatre is not only about creating performers—it is about helping young people discover who they are and who they can become.



The acting PROGRAM

The Full Program

Level 1: Foundation

  • Find inspiration for stories from pictures, objects, music, texts, or real-life events
  • Come up with ideas using brainstorming and mind maps
  • Explore simple themes, emotions, and points of view
  • Practice acting through improvisation, role-play, and frozen scenes (tableaux)
  • Express ideas clearly using voice, body, and facial expressions
  • Work well in pairs or small groups; start learning to lead small exercises

Level 2: Development

  • Explore inspiration more deeply, looking at different perspectives
  • Research background information to make stories richer and more believable
  • Create short scenes with a clear beginning, middle, and end
  • Use movement, hot-seating, and thought-tracking to develop characters
  • Try out different storytelling techniques like flashbacks, direct address, or multiple roles
  • Work confidently in groups, lead exercises, and give helpful feedback

Level 3: Mastery

  • Take complex or abstract ideas and turn them into unique stories
  • Devise a complete play as a team, with strong plot and tension
  • Build multi-layered characters with consistent voice and movement
  • Use advanced techniques: ensemble acting, physical theatre, non-linear storytelling
  • Lead rehearsals and group exercises, guiding others effectively
  • Reflect on performances and improve work based on feedback
