Introducing The Studio...

With twenty years of experience as a working actor and ten years teaching theatre, I wanted to cultivate a safe space where actors of all ages and stages could grow and take artistic risks. In The Studio, you will be encouraged and challenged to dig deep, search the text, and make bold choices to create a truthful character.

Whatever your acting goals may be, I want to help you realize them. Fill out the form at the bottom to get started with a complimentary telephone consultation.

This ongoing 8-week adult acting class is designed for students who have previously taken an Adult Acting Class at The Studio and are looking to continue their training in a supportive, challenging, and collaborative environment.

Students will take a deep dive into Uta Hagen's acting exercises to strengthen their technique and ground their work in truth. Through a combination of scene work, monologue work, students will deepen their craft, strengthen their technique, and explore more nuanced performance work. The curriculum will evolve based on the group’s needs, allowing for continued growth and individual focus.

Please note: to fully benefit from the class and Uta Hagen's acting exercises, you’ll need to commit time outside of class for rehearsal and preparation.
