Tony Nominee (and Boston native) Jere Shea, will work with experienced musical theater actors in an afternoon session entitled "Acting The Song." Scheduled
from Noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday, October 19, the workshop
costs $50 per Students will receive personalized feed back on performance of prepared material in a small group setting. The class will offer an opportunity to perform, explore and observe the work of others as they gain fresh perspective on familiar material as well as insight into the art of Acting the Song. Requirements to participate include: solo performance of a musical theater song (2-3 minutes in duration), prepared in advance. Students are encouraged to choose familiar material and perform off book. While experience in musical theater is not required, students should be moderately experienced in the craft and vocabulary of acting.
