Acting 101 for Playwrights

WA9-D02
8 Thursdays, 7-9
Jan. 22 through Mar. 12
$175 W&B members / $180 general public
Instructor: Michael Arve

Many playwrights are as mystified by the art of acting as actors are by the art of  play writing. In 8 weekly sessions we will explore the basics of acting, the process of developing a character on stage and how to be true to the character as written on the page. We will also discuss the challenges actors and directors have in performing and mounting a play. The class will culminate in a public performance of original plays by writers in the class in the Performance Space.
