Tuesdays are rehearsal days and Thursdays are spent in acting class taught in a master class format. During class time we will explore different method acting techniques and delve deeper into “living truthfully under the imaginary circumstances of a play.” We will be working directly from Uta Hagen’s: “Respect for Acting” as well as “A Practical Handbook for the Actor.” The play chosen for the season will juxtapose between the comedic and dramatic genres to give students a well rounded experience.
