ABOUT THE CLASS:
week 1: Actors bring in a prepared comedy or drama SCENE (please provide an extra copy for the reader). Since her office casts for both comedy and drama, you should choose what you feel showcases you the best.
weeks 2 & 3: Lisa will provide drama scenes one week and comedy for the other. For drama, you will read with Lisa. For comedy, you will be paired with another actor in class.
week 4: Mock producer's session - a few people people read the same scene and the group decides as the "producers" who would get the part.

ACW is bonded and licensed. A workshop is not a job interview or audition. The presence of a casting director, agent or manager is neither a guarantee nor a promise of employment. The intent of the class is solely educational. Attending a workshop is not a way to obtain employment as an actor. Such contact as you may have with a casting director at a workshop rarely results in any further contact with that casting director or any company affiliated with that casting director.
