I Pick - You Pick
This theater class fosters young actors’ imagination, empowering them to create exciting, real, and memorable characters. Character-building work will be done through exercises that increase in difficulty as they progress. The student will also learn new ways to observe and gain insight into people, helping them to create even more compelling characters. Next, the student begins to work on experiencing and expressing genuine, nuanced emotions. With this strong foundation of skills, an actor can confidently and easily approach scripted materials as they begin monologue and scene study work.
Combined with improv technique, the students will learn how to think on their feet, make strong, fast choices, and roll with last-minute script changes, which are so common on commercial, television, and film sets.
Entrance to this program is by audition or invitation, please contact [email protected] to set up a meeting time.

Inspired by true events, our script is a moving exploration of the passion and heartbreak of those who risked all they had for women’s right to vote – their jobs, their homes, their children, and even their lives.

The Tapestry Monologues
The Tapestry Monologues is an intensive course for actors or anyone who wishes to develop the subtleties of character through a performance-based class. Using a web of classic and not so classic monologues, we will explore what it means to be human from the eyes of numerous characters; each one with its own unique view of the world. Edgy, heartbreaking, funny, and moving, students will learn how to bring characters to life and in doing so, create a performance piece like no other. The final presentation will be in front of a live audience.
Our team of instructors will push you to not only make your own character believable but also to help develop the skill to perform seamlessly in relation to other actors on stage.
If you are preparing for an audition or simply want to do a deep dive into character study, this is the class to attend.
This course is limited to four spots in each of the following age groups:
13-18
19-30
30-45
45+
No Experience is necessary, but a willingness to learn and to be part of an eclectic multi-generational performance.

SKETCH COMEDY
And now for something completely different.
In this class we won't be taking on current events — we are going to address history itself. History with loads of parody and laughter.
This class will delve into a study in dynamism: Playing parents and children, friends and rivals, each player crackling with goofball energy or remaining buttoned-up, as the flummoxed straight man. Come discover broad play, flecked with bold bits of physicality, offset by sharp delightful words and wordplay.
Oh yes, there is a structure to follow, but we have a license to riff on anything from cooking shows to commercials.
The trick to the trade is being real, with genuine love and a sense of play among the cast. In the end, learning how to make an audience feel that they are part of it.
LET SILLINESS REIGN SUPREME!
There is no performance in this session. It is an acting technique class.
