Theatre Coppell's Adult Workshop

Sept 2, 9, 16 and 23, 2009, 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.

So you’ve done a little bit of acting, but you’d like to do some more?

You’ve never stepped on stage, but you’d like to try it?

Your kids do it all the time, and it looks like fun?

You’d like a leg-up for the next audition you attend?

You did some acting in school and would like to do it again?

Never Too Late is designed for you!

On four consecutive Wednesday nights in September, you will work with dramatic scenes and monologues, be coached by directors and actors, discuss principles of theatre, and learn improvisational skills. The emphasis will be on realistic acting and developing characterization. You’ll work seriously and have fun at the same time.

This workshop will emphasize acting techniques and technical skills and will create a short production by the end of the week, which parents and friends may attend free of charge. A daily mid-session snack and a T-shirt designed by the actor are included.

Daily sessions are held at the Coppell Center for the Arts, 157 S. Moore Road in Coppell.
