We suggest that students wear clothing they are comfortable moving in, that is not too-loosely fitting. Close-toed gym shoes should be worn to all Circus classes to use during stilting, no specific footware is necessary for any other classes as they are done barefoot.

The Actors Gymnasium is located within the Noyes Cultural Arts Center at 927 Noyes, Evanston, Illinois. A map and more detailed directions may be found here.

The Gym is located at the far north end of the building and is visible from the parking lot past the playground. Entering through the main entrance of the Noyes Cultural Arts Center, the Gym may be reached by taking a right at the main gallery hallway and continuing to the far north end of the building. The entrance to the gym is through the last set of double doors, on the right.

Students may, with advanced permission from the office, schedule drop-in attendance to classes for which they are not registered. Please call the office at 847-328-2795 to discuss pricing or schedule a drop-in.

Generally, parents are not allowed to observe their child's class, if the class is not a parent-participation class. Parents are asked to wait outside until their child's class is over. This is to provide a comfortable and neutral space for all kids in the class. Parents are allowed to observe during the final week of classes in a session. If you have a specific concern about your child's class, please speak with the instructor or contact the office at 847-328-2795.

Not at all! Our classes cater to students of all skill levels. Outside of our intermediate and advanced level classes, no previous experience in circus or gymnastics is required. We do our best to allow students to work at their own pace and skill level, but we also remind students to be aware of their own physical limitations. In addition, The Actors Gymnasium reserves the right to refuse students who, in the professional opinion of the class's instructor, may present a danger to themselves or others.
