Class is the place to FAIL!

Actors, how do you know if something works or not if you don't TRY. This is what class is for. Be willing to try a bold choice and see if it works.

Our classes are not only designed to turn actors into working actors but also to help with on set situations.

This scene from Broadcast News performed by Colton Brockett and Shai Cain is a second work, meaning, the actors are stopped (or cut) when Theresa sees something that still needs work. This helps the actors learn to stay in character and pick it back up. Exactly how it's done on set. And it's up to you to handle it like a pro!

"Never expect your audience to go on a journey that you're not willing to go on yourself."
