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. SKETCH COMEDY WRITING: MARCH 7 - MARCH 28 (TUESDAYS 6-8PM) Live from Lakewood, it's sketch comedy writing! In this course we will cover different sketch formats, working in a writers room, pitching your ideas confidently, and revising a final script.

by Claudia Lillibridge 16 Jan '23

16 Jan '23

Twin Masks Performing Arts Center (TMPAC) is proud to announce its upcoming performances of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, written by Edward Albee, and directed by D. Keith Stiver. TMPAC is located at 9076 Church Street, Suites 2 and 3 in Twinsburg, Ohio. Performances are Friday and Saturday evenings, starting at 8pm. Feb 3, 4, 10, 11, 17 and 18. Twin Masks is a small, 50 seat black box theatre. Tickets are available online at www.twinmasks.org, or by calling 330-888-3211. Box office opens at 7:30pm each evening prior to every performance to purchase tickets as well. We accept all major credit cards and cash. WARNING: PLAY CONTAINS STRONG ADULT LANGUAGE AND ADULT SITUATIONS. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR THOSE 18 YEARS OF AGE AND YOUNGER. Adult tickets are $15; Senior/ Students tickets $10.00. Cast: George: Vincent Sarowatz Martha: Theresa Dean Nick: Corey Thur Honey: Jessie Pollak STORY: George, a professor at a small college, and his wife, Martha, have just returned home, drunk from a Saturday night party. Martha announces, amidst general profanity, that she has invited a young couple—an opportunistic new professor at the college and his shatteringly naïve new bride—to stop by for a nightcap. When they arrive the charade begins. The drinks flow and suddenly inhibitions melt. It becomes clear that Martha is determined to seduce the young professor, and George couldn’t care less. But underneath the edgy banter, which is crossfired between both couples, lurks an undercurrent of tragedy and despair. George and Martha’s inhuman bitterness toward one another is provoked by the enormous personal sadness that they have pledged to keep to themselves: a secret that has seemingly been the foundation for their relationship. In the end, the mystery in which the distressed George and Martha have taken refuge is exposed, once and for all revealing the degrading mess they have made of their lives.

TESTIMONIALS: “His uncanny genius is knowing howthe actor and the play can work together like a Swiss watch.” William Mastrosimone, playwright. “For several years, I’ve only been partially able to articulate, or utilize,what Bill’s book, and his teachings have brought right out into the middleof things, where I have begun to believe they belong, and with blazing clarity. Austin Pendleton, actor, director,playwright & master teacher. “I love working with Bill in hisACTING BY MISTAKE workshops. I’ve been taking his workshops for over twoyears now. He gets us to ‘connect’ with the character in an organic way.He helps us allay the normal fears we have as actors and our need to getit ‘right’ by creating a playful process in which we focus more on thecharacter’s experience than getting the exact words of the text correct inthe rehearsal process. That is so freeing. I’m feeling much more confidentnow in how I approach a character and trust that organic process of developinga character.” John Sannuto, Chair, Theatre Department,Long Island university.
