MEET THE MASTER TEACHERS:

MELODY BROOKS is an award-winning producer and director who founded NPTC in 1991 and serves as Artistic Director and CEO. The company's mission and goals are a result of her long experience working in Off- and Off-Off Broadway. Brooks leads NPTC's Women’s Work Project, which develops short and full-length plays by 12-16 members per year, and produces ON HER SHOULDERS, staged readings of plays by women from the past that include scholarly playbills putting the "Play in Context". Through these and other programs Melody has developed and directed numerous original and classic plays. She created the NPTC Apprentice Program in 2006 to better prepare actors for a working life in the Theatre. She was an Assistant Professor at LIU/Brooklyn in the Communications Studies, Performance Studies and Theatre Program for 10 years, and also is a private coach. Melody currently serves on the Board of the League of Professional Theatre Women. 

 

MARI LYN HENRY spent twenty years as a casting director and then started a career coaching business. She is the co-author of five editions of How To Be A Working Actor (www.howtobeaworkingactor.com) which, for  30years has been considered the ‘Bible of the biz’ by industry professionals, educators and celebrities. The foreword is by Tony- winning actor Joe Mantegna who has called it “one of the most comprehensive books on show business I’ve ever read and I highly recommend it as an addition to any actor’s library.” Her workshops on on-camera techniques, script analysis, auditioning and impression management have been very successful in cities and universities across the country as well as in Toronto, London, Oxford and Sydney. Currently she is the Dean of Students at the Tom Todoroff Conservatory based in New York City. She believes with Mark Twain that “training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.” Also a Theatre historian, Mari Lyn is the founder of The Society For The Preservation of Theatrical History. She received a master’s degree in theatre history at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. Her published thesis concerned the development and significance of the dramatic sketch and playlet in American vaudeville, 1893-1925. She is the Co-chair of the Heritage Committee for the League of Professional Theatre Women and serves on its board.
