Alumni Studio
Upcomming events:
Next studio session will take place in the fall.
Ongoing: Alumni Studio Sessions
These studio sessions can be used in a variety of ways:
- an extra rehearsal if you have a project needing feedback to try out those "dream roles" and see what they have to teach you
- a place to bring in work you have written that you would like to workshop to screen filmwork
- a place to polish audition monologues
Studio sessions are shaped to your needs and aspirations. Challenge yourself to work out those creative muscles and take a risk in a safe and supportive space designed to take your personal artistic development to the next level without judgment or competition. This space is for you.
