by Lauren Nichols 27 May '18

27 May '18

Olmsted Performing Arts is thrilled to be adding brand new film classes to our summer program! If you have ever been interested in learning more about acting for commercials or studying the Meisner Technique, enroll today! Space is limited and will fill up! About the Instructor! Barb Stitzer started modeling and acting at age 10 in her home town of Los Angeles. She has appeared in dozens of commercials, print ads, television pilots and plays, as well as having had a recurring role on Days of Our Lives. She studied for two years with Sanford Meisner himself, and teaches acting in the Meisner style, in a thoughtful, positive and empowering environment. She is a Master Photographer and develops models as well. She lives in Hudson with her husband, Buzz, and daughters, Tenley, a model, singer, cheerleader, diver and show kid, and Zoe, who is a sophomore at the Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University. You can enroll for classes at this link! http://www.olmstedperformingarts.com/classes/film/summer-film-classes/ For Students Ages 12-18 *TEEN MEISNER*The more specific you are as an actor, the more work you will book. If you’re interested in playing theater games, this isn’t the class. If you are a serious actor who really wants to create truth in your work, this IS the place for you. The Meisner Method is about finding the truth in your work, leaving “acting” behind in favor of reacting, truly listening to your scene partner and acting from your heart, not your script. We’ll start with objective repetition, work into a more subjective repetition, then raise the stakes with a knock at the door. You’ll learn the reality of doing, not pretending, so that you can produce emotion any time you need it. *8-week session extending from June 25 through August 18* *ADULT MEISNER* The Meisner Method is about finding the truth in your work, leaving “acting” behind in favor of reacting, truly listening to your scene partner and acting from your heart, not your script.

Please bring all your conflicts between July 8 and September 9. ABOUT THE PLAY: Waiting for Godot...is a play by Nobel Prize Winner Samuel Beckett, in which two seemingly homeless men wait for someone—or something—named Godot. Vladimir and Estragon wait near a tree, inhabiting a drama spun from their own consciousness. The result is a comic wordplay of poetry, dreamscapes, and nonsense, which has been interpreted as mankind’s inexhaustible search for meaning. and while waiting they encounter three other characters. Waiting for Godot is Beckett's translation of his own original French play, En attendant Godot, and is subtitled (in English only) "a tragicomedy in two acts. In a poll conducted by the British Royal National Theatre in 1990 it was voted the “most significant English language play of the 20th century”. Beckett’s play remains one of the most magical and beautiful allegories of our time. The First Company Meeting and Read-through will be from 1:00-5:30pm on Sunday, July 15. Rehearsals (5 per week: Mon-Thurs eve and Sunday afternoons) will commence on August 21, 2017. Performances (9): Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm and Sundays at 2pm, August 24-September 9 The Director strongly advises that actors read the play before attending the auditions. BRECKSVILLE THEATRE IS casting the following 5 Male roles: * Vladimir (called ‘Didi’)—Age 40s-50s (but younger and older men can give it a shot) * Estragon (called ‘Gogo’)—Age 40s-50s (but younger and older men can give it a shot) * Pozzo—Age Late 30s-70s, preferably plump…a “captain of industry” * Lucky—Age 20s, preferably tall and thin * A Boy—Age 8-12 Note that all must be able to learn lines early and accurately. Getting the words right, as Beckett wrote them, is one key to the success of this extraordinary play.
