FAQs

This class is for the beginning or amateur adult actor. It’s a great introduction and foundation for the craft. There are no prerequisites. You should consider this class if:

– You have never done any acting but would like to know what it’s all about, may want to pursue it, or may simply want to become more comfortable speaking in front of people

– You have done some acting in the past and now want refresh your skills

– You have done a lot of acting, have never taken a class or haven’t taken one in a long time, and want to see if you’ve been missing anything

This class is for people who have had some training and/or performance experience.  You should have at least one monologue memorized on which you want to work to get started. We can explore additional material as class continues.

This class is for people who attend networking events at which they are given time to talk about their business (the “elevator pitch”). You should have a 30 second, 45 second, or 60 second speech to get started. We’ll help you improve your delivery and offer tips on content, if necessary.

Currently, classes are being offered primarily for adults 18 and above.  Minors will be considered if a parent or guardian plans to either enroll in the class, too, or commits to being there for each class session.  There is no maximum age limit.

Attendance in any group acting class is important.  Your scene partner can’t work if you aren’t there.  Even in a monologue class, we learn from each other.

To encourage attendance, we ask for a $50 deposit as part of your class fee.  If you attend EVERY class, you will get a $50 refund.
