TPT Adult Acting Class of the New Year-Be the first to be seen and heard!

The Tipping Point Theatre has had many requests for information about our general auditions and how best to prepare for an audition at a professional theatre, with this in mind, we are holding an Acting Lab.

Our Producing Artistic Director, James Kuhl is offering a 6 week class to help you prepare for your audition. This will be a great way for you to dust off old monologues or work on a new one. Join us and let the Tipping Point theatre be the first to see your work.

This class will include introduction to the Meisner acting technique, and is geared toward adult actors wanting to find a fresh way of approaching the craft of acting. We will focus on the fundamentals of acting through exercises and techniques developed by acting teacher Sanford Meisner. Class will include acting tools, scene work, monologue prep, and inside access to Tipping Point Events.

Dates: Mondays 6:30–8:30 p.m.
April 12 – May 17 (6 weeks)
Recommended for actors age 18 and up
Price: $150

Enrollment:
Actors: 12 maximum

James Kuhl is the winner of the Heck Rabi Playwriting Competition as well as a Wilde Award and a Pulsar Award Nominee and has been working with the Meisner technique for twelve years. He received his BA from Alma College and his MFA in acting from Wayne State University. He has completed the Purple Rose Apprentice program as well as a two year Internship with Alma College which included teaching classes and has also taught movement, dance, voice, and acting to students of all ages.

We will be holding general audition's at the end of May, 2010 for our upcoming season that runs from September 2010–June 2011. We hope you will take this opportunity to work with us here at the TPT.
