2022 Fall I Acting in a Professional Production Audition Form

Acting in a Professional Production Audition Form

Fall I 2022
Prepare, rehearse, and perform in a series of staged readings on the stage of the Washington Stage Guild, one of DC’s most respected theatrical venues, working with professional directors and actors as part of a core company of students playing substantial roles. Issues explored in the class include the expectations involved in professional work, how to make strong acting choices within a compressed schedule, and the specific demands of staged readings versus full productions. The fall session explores examples of Testimonial Theatre (sometimes known as Verbatim Theatre), in which plays are constructed using the exact words of people interviewed about a particular event or testimony from court documents and media statements. Once known as Living Newspapers, plays in this form often take on difficult themes as they ask us to put ourselves in the shoes of another. This year's roster will be no exception. While the fall scripts are not finalized, they are likely to include Columbinus (about the Columbine school massacre), Let Me Down Easy (Anna Deveare Smith's fascinating exploration of health and perceptions of body), and similar plays. Many roles for all types.

Class Thursdays 7-10pm
Rehearsals Saturdays 1:30-5:30pm
Performances Tuesdays at 7:30. Students arrive at 6:30 PM.
