SCENE STUDY FOR ACTORS
Announces open registration for March 17th - May 5th.

Class size limited to 12 actors.
This studio class is designed to increase the actor’s understanding of physical expressiveness, psychological expression and concentration. Physically-based approaches such as Stanislavski, Michael Chekhov and Meyerhold will be some of the actor-training methodologies used. Through various exercises, assignments, and assigned scene work, and classical monologues, the actor will explore our three main areas of focus: how to “just be” onstage, how to play an action, and the journey to unfolding a character.
When: Sundays from 6:00-9:00pm, March 17th through May 5th.
Where: State College Community Theatre at 171 Technology Drive, Suite 800, Boalsburg, PA 16827
Cost: $135, fee includes the script for your specially assigned scene and monologue.
