 provide our acting students with the opportunity to discover, nurture 
and explore their own uniqueness and merge that into the script to stand
 out on the set or on stage. First and foremost our goal is to develop 
the young actor's craft. The young actor develops a technique that he or
 she can take into any medium, be it stage, screen, TV, or film. The 
classes at our studio are centered around The Sanford Meisner 
Technique.  Through the Meisner system, the actor becomes fearless and 
gains a strong confidence that can be applied to all areas of life. The 
young actor develops a love for the work, and with this, the ability to 
survive and work as an actor.</span></span></span></p><div id="gmail-comp-l9sun87n" class="gmail-KcpHeO gmail-tz5f0K gmail-comp-l9sun87n"><p class="gmail-font_8" style="font-size:19px"><span style="font-size:23px"><span style="color:rgb(237,21,102)"><span style="font-family:barlow-medium,barlow,sans-serif">SKETCH COMEDY WRITING: MARCH 7 - MARCH 28 (TUESDAYS 6-8PM)</span></span></span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="font-size:19px"><span style="font-family:barlow-extralight,barlow,sans-serif"><br>Live from Lakewood, it's sketch comedy writing! </span><span style="font-family:barlow-extralight,barlow,sans-serif">In
