About Hustle Acting

---

Founded in 2019, Hustle Acting & Performance is a program designed to enhance confidence and creativity in young actors. It caters to children as young as 7, and as old as 15. 

During our 10-class program (20 class programs where applicable), kids will get the opportunity to perform two plays, created by Hustle, based entirely on the ideas of the students in each class! These plays are 100% original....something you won't find in ANY youth drama program in Ontario. 

Classes are 1 hour in length and each class is a mix of developing plays/ideas, learning a new skill (such as miming or stage combat) drama games and rehearsals. 

Performances take place at the end of the Week 5 and Week 10 classes. We welcome parents, as well as other family members to come enjoy the show! 

We offer classes in Mississauga, Milton and Brampton. 

Our 2025-2026 Locations:

Brampton (Paul Palleschi Recreation Centre)

Milton (Sherwood Recreation Centre)

Mississauga (South Common CC or Huron Park CC)

Each class is led by Michael (Mikey) Khan, who is known for his infectious energy! 

Mikey has held high-level positions within children's based educational companies such as Mad Science Hamilton & Kitchener as well as the Great Big Theatre Company. 

Mikey has been a guest teacher in over 100 schools across Peel & Halton, most recently running full-school drama workshops at Earnscliffe Senior public school in Brampton and Walden International School in Oakville. He's directed over 500 plays, written over 200 and has helped over 100 kids successfully audition for the drama school of their choice, through the Hustle Audition Preparation program (the only audition preparation program is Ontario to hold a 100% success rate). 

He has been the artistic director and executive director since 2019. 

For many classes, a graduate of the Hustle program will assist.
