Actor’s Rep Begins In-depth Improvisational Comedy Class September 5

Aug. 7, 2012 - PRLog -- ACTOR’S REP BEGINS IN-DEPTH IMPROVISATIONAL COMEDY CLASS SEPTEMBER 5 IMPROV EXPERT KATHLEEN KENNY TO FACILITATE

A 12-week 101/201 Improvisational comedy class will meet from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesdays in the Betty Waldron Theatre at Bob Carter’s Actor’s Workshop & Repertory Co. from September 5 through Nov. 28.  (No class 10/31.)

Why is it that some improv scenes succeed while others fall flat?  What gives a consistently good improviser the knack to be so good so often?  Learn the commandments of improvisation and how to obey them and put them into practice.  

Through the use of games, exercises and character exploration, this class provides the tools you need to not only be confident thinking on your feet, but to also become the kind of intuitive actor others love sharing a stage with.  Take the mystery out of improv and have a lot of fun doing it!

The class cost is $250 for the 12-week series, plus a one-time lifetime registration fee of $35 for students new to Actors Rep. A minimum of five students is required to hold the class, and a total of no more than twelve will be enrolled.

Actor’s Rep first gained attention at its original location, 308 South Dixie, as an innovative, avant garde theatre and actors’ and technicians’ training ground in 1980. In an intimate workshop setting, actors’ skills were developed based on the work of Stanislavski, Strasberg, and other renowned teachers. The group formed a repertory company which produced seldom seen, daring, thought-provoking plays to high critical acclaim in its 99-seat theatre-in-the-round. It also developed the first summer acting camps for children and teens in Palm Beach and Broward counties.
