Adult Acting
Tuesdays from 7PM -8PM
This class is for adults (Ages 16+ up) who want to improve their Acting skill while learning from Tom Scannell, an expert in the field with over 40 years of experience!
This class will focus on building a solid foundation in the art of acting. Students will concentrate on monologues, character work and scene study. Tom tailors his class to the students using a mixture of creative exercises, theatre games and improvisation to build confidence and access emotions. Students learn how to work organically and honestly by mastering their personal technique in a supportive, creative, and fun environment. Here the focus will be on the development of your own unique voice as well as working collectively in an ensemble.
Scenes and monologues will be drawn from every genre of theater – Greek classics to current works – whatever works for each individual.
Come join us and learn to challenge yourself, trust yourself and expand your natural abilities.
