Description
In this 9 week course, students will explore three contemporary American plays from three different authors of varying styles, voices, and genres. In this class, students will learn the fundamentals of working on a scene, through reading, rehearsing, and performance. We will explore together the deeper meanings of these plays and recognize the specific given circumstances of each scene. We will also learn how to implement strategic, systematic acting processes to find the emotional truth in the scenes. While this course is beginner friendly, full attendance and outside the classroom work are expected.

| Cancellation Policy | STUDENT CANCELLATION POLICY If withdrawing with 48 hours or less to start date, the student forfeits the full price of the class. The student forfeits the price of the class whether they paid in full or are paying on an automatic payment plan. Tuition paid for all workshops are non-refundable and non-transferable. Our studio cancellation policy above is outlined as such because we let our instructors know 48 hours before a class starts if it has enough students to move forward and fulfill our contract with them. Once you sign up we count that spot as filled. By cancelling less than 48 hours in advance, it may leave the class without the necessary numbers to proceed leading to the cancellation of the class and our inability to honor contracts with our instructors. If you give us 48 hours or more notice, we have time to fill that slot. We appreciate you respecting this policy for the best experience for our instructors and community! Please let us know if you have any questions. STUDIO CANCELLATION POLICY Occasionally we’ll have to cancel a call due to low enrollment. We’re sorry if that happens to you! If we have to cancel a class you’ve signed up for, we will give you at least 48 hours notice and promptly start your refund process. In the event that class is canceled due to circumstances beyond our control (including but not limited to extreme weather and pandemic related shutdowns), make-up classes will be scheduled as soon as it’s safe for our students and instructors to be together safely at the studio. In some cases classes may transfer to an online platform. If a student is unable to attend the rescheduled class due to circumstances beyond our control (including but not limited to extreme weather and pandemic related shutdowns) that student will receive credit on their account for the value of missed classes. |
