If you want to work on your public confidence and your ability to interact with others you would benefit from the program as well.

Taking an acting class is a definite way to get more in touch with yourself. You become more self-aware. You become more confident, more of a team player and a better public speaker.

Zachary T. Robbins (aka “Zach”) is a teen actor who resides bicoastally in Central Florida and LA to pursue his acting career. Zach began his professional training here at The Maile School at the age of 6 as a child model. He began working in local theater at the age of 8 and booked “The Trial”, his first feature film at the age of 9. In the “The Trial”, Zach co-starred with Matthew Modine and Clare Carey, as his mother.

In 2011, Zach booked his first co-star appearance in ABC’s Army Wives, followed by a guest star as Tony Caputo in Nickelodeon’s Deadtime Stories. Zach has appeared in 7 short films, most recently as EJ in the award winning short film, “Counter”.

In 2014, Zach booked voiceover work as Nicholas in the Webseries/Podcast, “We’re Alive.”  Then in 2015, Zach landed his first recurring role in the hit Netflix/Sony series, “Bloodline” as Young John Rayburn (Young Kyle Chandler) where he had the honor of co-starring alongside Sissy Spacek, Kyle Chandler, Ben Mendelsohn and Sam Shepard. Seasons 1 & 2 of Bloodline are streaming on Netflix.

Tina, Zach’s mom says, “Zach absolutely loved The Maile School when he was first learning how to act! He always felt comfortable and welcomed, which was important to him as a young kid. Zach was not from Orlando, but was from Merritt Island, so we traveled an hour to attend classes. He feels like this was his best stepping stone! When parents ask me how he got started, I always mention The Maile School as the only professional acting studio available in Central Florida! We appreciate the solid foundation you provided to Zach.  Zach is now a senior in high school and applying to programs such as NYU, Carnegie Mellon and FSU!  In the meantime, he continues to pursue his passion for acting!”

 Check him out on Netflix as Young John Rayburn, Seasons 1-3!

Maile Star Grad: Josie Pantoja

 At the age of two, Josie grabbed an open mic during a family birthday party and put on a show! This 12-year-old triple threat has been singing, acting, and dancing ever since.

Josie keeps a busy schedule, balancing Honor Roll academics while singing at local festivals, such as, The Kids and Family Expo, The Back to School Music Festival and she will be performing in November at The Festival of Trees as well as other venues throughout the year. In addition she performs in two theater performances a year, whilst also taking acting, voice and dance classes.

Josie’s love for performing has rewarded her with a trip to California to represent Team USA at the World Championship of Performing Arts, an upcoming trip to Atlanta to sing at The Child Model Magazine Summer Fashion Parade, an appearance in an Universal Studios commercial, an acting role in the soon to be released anti-bullying film “AMRAK” (which will be shown at The Urban Film Festival at Universal Studios this November), and the opportunity to participate in classes and workshops at the Maile Studio due to her winning Maile School annual Talent Show!

Josie chose to be homeschooled this year to pursue auditions and other opportunities. This choice has already proven to be worthwhile, as she has been selected for a key role at the Orlando Repertory Theater’s musical performance of “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever”.

Marisol, Josies mom says, “Thank you to Maile’s for the acting classes and workshops Josie has attended. They have helped Josie build confidence and improve her ability to express herself in her day-to-day life. Maile’s has taught her to believe in her talent and that she can do anything she puts her mind to!”

You can see Josie’s music videos and performance clips by subscribing to her YouTube Channel and following her on Instagram @josiepantoja_music or @josie_pantoja

Maile School’s Star Talent: Justin Smith

Maile School’s Star Talent: Justin Smith
in the theater production of FLYING

Congrats to the Maile School acting grad Justin Smith. He landed a role in the theater production of Flying. Justin plays Sergeant Rory Fisher, a wounded WWll soldier, who finds himself challenged beyond his physical disabilities to try and find his way in making sense of a post war America.

Sheila Cowley’s play explores the lives of women flyers in the aftermath of World War II. Susan flew militant planes during the war, so men could go fight. Now she’s home, trying to get back to civilian life. Meanwhile, the town waits for her local hero husband to return.  As the town tells glory tales of Bob, Susan tries to put away her memories of flying. She uses Bob’s legend to keep his family airfield going. That way when Fisher, his wounded gunner, shows up looking for a job she’s forced to hire him. As the play progresses, the stories the town tells reveal Susan through what they leave out. Drawn from oral histories and memories of women who served in the WASP program in WWII, Flying explores the aftermath of war and the quiet, daily acts of heroism that never earn a real medal.
Flying runs SEPTEMBER 21 – OCTOBER 7, 2017. You can purchase Tickets Here.

Some of Justin’s resume work includes the Bruce Willis Die Hard movies in “A Good Day to Die Hard” (2013), co-starred alongside Shia LaBeouf in Dito Montiel’s war drama “Man Down” (2015), the CW’s hit show “Vampire Dairies” and can be seen in the Netflix drama “Ozark” (2017), opposite Laura Linney.
