Introduction to Acting (Mondays, 1:30 - 3:00 p.m. CT)

This 4-week interactive series is designed for folks 55+ who are new to the art of theater acting. Participants will be introduced to the basic principles of acting, including warm-ups, script analysis, and character study.

There will be opportunities to both practice and “perform” assigned scenes with a supportive group of peers, and to receive gentle feedback from the program facilitator.

All registrants will be provided a pdf copy of the play “Doubt” by John Patrick Shanley prior to the first session and are strongly encouraged (however not required) to read it ahead of time.

No experience necessary. All individuals 55+ are welcome to join!

Note: Participants must have their zoom cameras ON to take part in this interactive series
