AUDITION SKILLS WEEKEND:
We cover most kinds of audition EXCEPT the TV Commercial process in this
intense immersion-style workshop. This is the workshop for people who
want to improve cold-reading and audition techniques for film, theatre
and TV roles. Actors should have some experience auditioning plus
fundamental training to get the most out of this class. We put a lot of
emphasis on how to prepare and then how to win! [Oct. 2-3, Dec. 4-5
$225.00 Equity member rate $175.00]


THE PLAY'S THE THING [SCENE STUDY]:
THE PLAY'S THE THING uses scene study as the basic training experience
for actors moving beyond beginner level. Work on a wide variety of
challenging scenes by the world's most exciting playwrights. Learn how
to break down a scene and improve your interpretation skills. It's a
great choice for actors to move up the "experience" ladder.  It's a
high-intensity class designed so that committed actors can stay sharp.
