This six-week acting workshop will focus on Meisner-based scene study. Participants can come with a friend and pair on an assigned scene, or come solo and either pair with another actor OR work on a monologue, if preferred. The first 1/2 hour of class will consist of warm-ups and acting exercises, followed by an hour of scene work.

This scene/monologue study will occur weekly on Saturday mornings from February 16 through March 23.
