Bethany Rooney Set for Stella Adler's 'HOLLYWOOD SPEAKS' Series, 10/1

By:

The Stella Adler Academy & Theatre will present a new Series of One Night Only Guest Speakers in "HOLLYWOOD SPEAKS AT THE ADLER" - The evening will be featuring BETHANY ROONEY, October 1st, 2014

Bethany Rooney will talk about her experience as a freelance episodic television director, and will take questions from the audience. There will be a book signing immediately following the engagement.

"HOLLYWOOD SPEAKS AT THE ADLER-LA" is an on-going series that is open to the public and is part of The Stella Adler Academy & Theatre Outreach Program.

In a business where only sixteen percent of film directors are women, the long-term success of Bethany Rooney's career has defied the odds of Hollywood. Rooney has been at the helm for nearly two-hundred hours of prime time television for over twenty five years, including many critically acclaimed series such as Scandal, Arrow, and Nashville, Criminal Minds, Hart of Dixie, and the American long-running classics Desperate Housewives, Ally McBeal, and Brothers & Sisters.

Her reputation as an actor's director who leads with gentle command has made her part of an elite group of television industry leaders. She serves as the co-chair of the DGA's Women's Steering Committee and shares her knowledge of the craft by teaching the intensive Warner Brothers Directing Workshop. Her book (co-authored with Mary Lou Belli) "Directors Tell the Story: Master the Craft of Television and Film Directing" is being utilized at the Warner Brothers, ABC, and Sony directing workshops, and in directing classes on many university campuses, including Tisch Asia School of Arts, Full Sail University, Chapman University, Arizona State, Vancouver Film School, Watkins College of Art, Design and Film, and Columbia College (Chicago).

Stella Adler Academy & Theatre is a non-profit organization.

HOLLYWOOD SPEAKS At THE ADLER-LA, will be a monthly on-going series with the the next evening scheduled for October 1st, 8:00PM. The Stella Adler Academy & Theatre is located at 6773 Hollywood Blvd., 2nd Floor, Hollywood, CA. 90028.
