CONNOR RATLIFF presents
THE ACTING CLASS
with Special Guest
JEFF HILLER

An improv show disguised as an acting class, from the creator of the “Dead Eyes” podcast.

Professional actor (Mean Girls) and award-winning podcaster (Dead Eyes) CONNOR RATLIFF is a fixture of the NYC improv comedy scene -- a performer at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre for over a decade, where his George Lucas Talk Show developed a cult following and became the subject of an award-winning documentary. Ratliff is also a classically trained thespian who graduated with honors from the prestigious Liverpool Institute For Performing Arts over a quarter of a century ago, making his professional debut on the stage of the Royal Court Theatre in London’s West End. During that same year, he also performed at Buckingham Palace for Queen Elizabeth II. In the decades that followed, he has accumulated numerous credits as a star of stage, screen and stream, appearing in multiple Netflix Original Films as well as content on CBS, NBC, FOX, TBS, Home Box Office, Amazon Prime and the now-defunct comedy platforms, Seeso and Go90.

But none of that matters now.

What matters now is “CONNOR RATLIFF presents THE ACTING CLASS,” an unending series of public workshop performances where he will, before your very eyes, demonstrate what acting truly IS.

For this special CAVEAT edition, Connor welcomes a longtime friend and colleague to THE ACTING CLASS – professional actor/comedian/author JEFF HILLER (Somebody Somewhere, American Horror Story: NYC, 30Rock, Will Trent, author of Actress Of A Certain Age) – for an in-depth discussion of their shared craft and a full-bodied demonstration of Hiller's unexplored potential that could, perhaps, push him to his breaking point.

This performance will be slightly interactive and completely improvised, lasting approximately 90 minutes.

Defiantly self-indulgent and beyond pointless, THE ACTING CLASS is your opportunity to witness the kind of greatness – only slightly appreciated by The Industry – that has kept Connor Ratliff steadily employed for nearly half of the past 10 years.
