[NEohioPAL] CORRECTED: Beck Center Adult Theater Classes: Starting soon! Try Improv for FREE!

[Jonathan Kronenberger]

This Saturday, February 5th we kick off our Saturday Youth Theater classes here at the Beck Center ... but on Monday, February 7th and 10th, we start our first ADULT Theater classes for the Winter/Spring semester.  Isn't it time you got yourself back in the classroom and flexing those acting muscles again?  Isn't it time you took a moment for yourself - for your own artistry?  Don't make any more excuses.  It is YOUR time now.

Here's what one of our adult students says about studying with Natalie Green:

"I am writing with the purpose of expressing my gratitude to you and the Beck Center for offering the Adult acting class this past spring ... Natalie Green is incredibly professional and has a wealth of experience, but also is kind, humorous, understanding, reachable and, above all, inspiring.  She has given us goals and ways to begin to achieve them.  Each student had our own reason and desire for taking this class, and Natalie not only focused on those, but also helped us reach far beyond and see Theater as so much more than I could have ever imagined!" - Betsy Libens

Oh, and did we mention that another one of the "Adult Acting" students landed a leading role in Beck's upcoming Professional production of Steve Martin's adaptation of THE UNDERPANTS?

Similarly, we're so certain that you'll love the "Adults Only: Improvisation" class, that we've priced it so that the first class is FREE!  Come by on Thursday, February 10 from 7:00-8:00pm and try it out.  If you love it, sign up for the remaining sessions.  If not (which I doubt!), you will have paid nothing.  What have you got to lose?

To confirm, the Adults Only: Improvisation class runs on Thursdays from 7:00-8:00pm (NOT 6:00 - 7:00pm as mentioned in the previous posting).

So shake off the winter time blues and consider joining us for one of these exciting offerings starting next week:
