The monologue is a unique form of theatrical storytelling where one actor is speaking at length for a minute or more to either another character or the audience. In this class, students will learn the art of monologue performance, building on tools learned in their Meisner acting and improvisation class that emphasize that "acting is going." This class will help students learn how to identify beats, interpret text, and use their emotional foundation to convey meaning and make an impact in a short amount of time as a performer.
This class is part of our full-day program in the summer, fall and spring. More information at www.playhousejuniors.com

Students learn technical skills and terminology, make quick acting choices grounded in truth and display vulnerability in front of the camera and/or microphone. Students will be exposed to the various scripts used for these different genres and what’s expected when you walk into the room, or self-submit material. From cold reads to rehearsed sides, these students will be knowledgable and prepared. www.playhousejuniors.com
