The Advanced ProgramOnly auditioning, committed actors are invited to The Advanced Program. Why? Because we spare no effort or expense in getting you in shape and in front of agents, managers and casting directors. During this 6 months course, you will gain a deep understanding of character and script analysis, as well as invaluable experience playing many different kinds of parts in all of the genres you might audition for in today’s industry.

Here you will also discover an acting technique which you will make your own because you will apply it not only to scenes and cold readings, but also to mock-auditions and actual performances, either in the Works In Progress (WIP) evenings, or The PROFESSIONAL SHOWCASE, where friends, family, agents, managers, and casting directors will come to see you(if cast) in a professionally directed and staged play.

At some point during this program, you will discover you are out of excuses for not becoming a working actor.
