| Comedy Improv Course |
Comedy improv isn't half as hard as it looks when you learn it from a former Saturday Night Live cast member. Anna gives you the keys: formats, dialects, and structure. Come play, have a ball, and enjoy discovering how funny you can be. Also, for acting students, studying comedy improv loosens up the body, helps you think fast on your feet, introduces dialects, and sharpens your timing.
4 weeks (unless otherwise noted in the schedule), $40/week as you come.
Don't worry if you have to miss one or even two of the four classes. You simply pay for the class you have to miss and then take class #5 free.

| Acting I and Audition Technique I - Script Breakdown |
This is the foundation course for learning the important building blocks to great performance. You’ll learn how to break down the script, how to analyze the character, how to play him/her, and most importantly how to mark the script in order to give a really great audition. Throughout the course, you'll have two or three auditions, and you’ll be given lots of information and insightful advice about how to handle the important few minutes before each audition. This course is not just about auditioning - it's also a great acting class.
6 weeks, $50/week as you come. Or you can take the course in private sessions at $55 per 1-hour session or $80 per 1˝-hour session.
Don't worry if you have to miss one or even two classes during the series of six - We can easily book a make-up session outside of the evening class - The make-up would be a private session Monday through Saturday at 11:30, 12:00, 12:30, 1:00, or 1:30 for $55.
