  Monday, Introduction to Acting for Adults by Mark Perman__6:30 – 8:30PM ~ $190__Students will study the principles of Acting as taught by Stanislavski who was the founder of the modern day "method" approach. Students will learn how to prepare for a monologue or scene, how to explore the truth in the text, and how to approach bringing various characters to life. Various materials as well as theatre exercises/improvisation will be explored and students will have a working knowledge of a monologue they can use for auditions once the class is completed.

 MONDAY, Acting/Singing for Musical Theatre (age 8-16) by Mark Perman4:00 – 6:00PM ~ $190Performing in Musical Theatre is a special art. It requires good singing, a strong interpretive ability, and the ability to bring life, humor, and energy to written word. We will explore musical theater looking at traditional Broadway material: Rogers and Hammerstien, Jerome Kern, Lerner and Lowe, to the more contemporary materials such as Rent, Les Miserables, Phantom, and Wicked. Students should leave the class with at least one song they can use for auditions. Part of the journey is to find material and explore roles that are right for you.
