Monologue Workshops start tonight and Saturday!

[Karen Kohlhaas]

Dear Actors,

How would you feel if you had 4 well-chosen, well-rehearsed monologues ready to go?

You have more artistic power over your monologue auditions than over any other part of your career.

This is a 4-class, 16-hour course designed to make you LOVE to audition with monologues.

• 8 Actors only per class
• Everyone works in every class
• Complete up to 4 audition-ready monologues
• Take the technique with you
• Learn how to choose great material

In this class you learn to:

DIRECT your monologues
Learn to create specific, suspenseful, well-chosen staging that is as fun to watch as it is to perform.

ACT your monologues
A simple mental adjustment allows you to act your monologues just as truthfully and spontaneously off of “no one” as you can with a live partner.

AUDITION with your monologues
Learn to enter the audition room, introduce yourself and your monologues, interact with your auditors, and exit with confidence and ease.

Next classes
Section A: Thursday evenings 6-10pm March 27**, April 3, 10, 17
** you can do first class with Saturday group if tonight is too short notice!
Section B: Saturday mornings 9am-1pm March 29, April 5, 12, 17
