Sorry, I don't know any around where you live since I live in Australia. But try checking your city's phone book and the internet (most preferably the phone book). You can call some up and ask about the price and maybe ask them to send out some information.
Some drama programs are held at local schools which are usually very cheap and very fun. These are usually the best for amateur actors since you're not only having fun and learning how to act but your meeting great down to earth people whereas at large, expensive acting schools the kids are usually huge snobs.
So yeah, check your phone book, newspaper etc. Call them, ask info about their program - age limit, price, time etc. But make sure they aren't a child minding drama school. These are drama programs where you generally don't do anything. The teacher gets you to do little games but nobody is interested so she/he just has to give up. I am 15 and I have definitely experienced these type of classes. These are usually what happens at cheap drama schools. But don't worry, maybe check the class out sometime and see what type of activities they do and see if you'll be able to fit in. Some drama programs let you have your first lesson free which means if you want to keep doing it you pay for the whole term but if the class isn't for you, you don't have to come back. These are generally the best. But if they don't do that, they usually let you sit in on a lesson. Give this a go!
Good luck and have fun =)
