Westport Country Playhouse Offers Masterclass In Acting For TV And Film For Middle Schoolers

Westport Country Playhouse's Masterclass Series will present “Acting for TV and Film,” geared toward middle schoolers, on Sunday, April 26, from 2 to 4 p.m., in the Lucille Lortel White Barn, next to the Playhouse.

Led by Liz Fye, television and film actor, the masterclass will focus on the more subtle techniques of TV/film acting. Students will work on pre-assigned scenes in front of the class with the chance to take direction, so that everyone practices responding to notes and making adjustments on the spot.
