Acting in a Professional Production: Nicholas Nickleby

Prepare, rehearse, and perform in a series of staged readings, 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. This session, for the first time, we'll be working on one (huge!) play, the famous but rarely produced eight-hour adaptation of Nicholas Nickleby. The play will be divided into four parts, and students will perform one part each week for four weeks. Acting in a Professional Production provides the perfect opportunity to take this masterpiece on, with all students playing multiple roles, and a series of professional actors in the role of Nicholas. Many roles for all types.
