Acting and Improv classes

with Mary Ward

These popular, fun-filled acting classes focus on improvisation, Viola Spolin theatre games, and acting techniques. We will identify your individual strengths and develop the skills and tools you need to demystify the process of acting. These skills not only provide the foundation necessary for the rehearsal process and performance but also build confidence with public speaking, interpersonal communication, creative problem solving, and how to work as a team.

New this year is a Scene Study Intensive class offered to students by audition only. This class will use various acting techniques including the renowned Wynn Handman, protege of Sandy Meisner.  The Handman/Meisner technique develops the individual performer, gives ownership to the actor, and develops the skills one needs to demystify the process of acting. Scene Study is by audition only and must be taken with Improv and Acting.
