REMINDER TO SIGN UP FOR CLASSES. SEATS FILLING UP QUICK!

You don't have to be a slacker to take
the Slacker Class. Just a few more seats available!


*NEW CLASSES with MONA LEE RECOMMENDED
by talent agents and casting directors in Texas and LA*

-------------
SLACKER COLD READ CLASS
TUESDAY NIGHTS - JANUARY 17 & 24th
To qualify for this class you must either be extremely busy and
unable to do homework like learning lines and meeting with a
partner outside of class OR, be very lazy and the kind of person
who waits until the last minute to do their work. In other words,
a work-a-phobe. BUT, hey, ya don't wanna slack completely because
it's Murphy's Law that just when you have reached your rustiest a
great audition hits your in-box. So purrfect. Slacker Class
evaporates guilt and gives career insurance.
Auditioning is different from acting. It requires special skills
and the ability to compete under stress in compressed time.
Students simulate audition scenarios by role-playing casting
directors, agents, directors, readers, and auditioning actors.
Each session actors are given new scripts to cold read. While
sharpening skills, actors learn how to compete with vitality,
create a personal win at every audition, stand out at auditions,
sell themselves, and win callbacks and bookings while still
managing to be lazy. Absolutely no homework!
7:00 to 9:00 - You get out early so you can still party. $115

SUBPERSONALITIES - FEBRUARY 7th
A Deepening Class Taught by Mona Lee
Within us is not just one personality but a whole crowd.
In this class actors learn to isolate and identify their
personalities and draw upon them when they perform. They
explore Jungian archetypes and study the Enneagram, an
ancient psychological system based on nine personality types,
then apply the types by acting out monologues from their point
of view. Excellent class for actors to learn more about themselves
and stretch their acting range.
7 sessions, 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Or until done. $225
