Tuesdays, October 20 - December 8 7pm - 10pm
Award winning actor Jeffrey Tambor (The Larry Sanders Show, Arrested Development, Transparent), returns for his fifth session as he teaches actors, writers and directors the art of the monologue — this time with a twist! What’s the twist? Your monologue will be fully performed by another student. All actors will write and perform. All writers will write plus act in other people’s work. All students will participate by writing and acting – even if you have never done it before. This class is all about discovery, having fun, and getting out of your comfort zone. This Zoom workshop gives everyone, no matter where you live, the opportunity to work with a critically acclaimed actor who has been captivating audiences in both comedic and dramatic projects for more than forty years!
