Albuquerque Little Theatre Expands Education Program with New Adult Classes and Senior Troupe

Albuquerque Little Theatre is adding two adult classes and a senior troupe in 2018. Jim Cady has been brought on to teach the Actor's Workshop and Director's Corner. Jim began his life in the theatre at 18 after winning a full scholarship to the famed Pasadena Playhouse. In the last seven years he has directed over twenty-five award winning plays here in Albuquerque.

The Actors Workshop will be held on Saturdays from 10am-1pm starting February 10th. This class is open to all students who take the craft of acting seriously and want to be grounded in technique. Through exercises and improvisation, the student will investigate Physical Action, The Truth of the Moment, Script Analysis, Scene Preparation and actual scene work and all the tools needed to successful fulfillment of character. The workshop is designed to take the mystery out of acting and bring the craft down to simple, easy to follow rules that are rewarding and fun.

The Directors Corner will be offered Saturdays from 2:00pm-5:00pm starting February 10th. This class is open to all students who want to be in charge. Students in the workshop will be working hands on with other students either from the Directing workshop or from the Actor's workshop and will prepare short scenes for presentation on the last day of class. Directors who show promise may be offered the opportunity to work with main stage directors at ALT as assistant directors, with the future opportunity to direct on the main stage.

Finally ALT is starting a theatre troupe specifically for artists over the age of 50. Led by award-winning actor, director and arts educator Staci Robbins, members of the company will train together in weekly "work-outs" that include improvisation, scene study, character development, script development and rehearsal for MainStage, Readers Theatre, and touring productions. The group will develop a repertoire of classic and contemporary offerings as well as write, design and produce work developed by its members. Membership fees for the program are based on a semester-long commitment (12 weeks). The program will run January 23 - April 24th on Tuesday mornings from 10am-12pm.
