Join us at the Ridgefield Library on Monday, August 10th at 7:00 pm as popular lecturer Michael Langlois returns with the program, A Brief History of Acting: From Ancient Greek to Modern Day. Please register.
This lecture will trace the evolution of Western acting styles. How did we go from the presentational styles of Ancient Greek Tragedies to the "Methos" of Modern acting? Follow the winding trail and discover the cultural/historical influences that have brought us to what we now see on modern stages and movie screens.
