Workshops/Classes

CHECK OUT THIS SWEET RETREAT!
Spend five days in the beautiful Catskills Mountains writing that play or movie.  Bring something you are working on, or just bring a desire to learn the craft of turning your ideas into a script. You may choose to spend your week writing on your own with minimal mentoring, or Jeffrey will be offering a daily intro class for those new to the field or looking for brush-up on their technique. Additionally, he will schedule group sessions and individual time for those at more advanced stages or in the middle of projects. The majority of your day is open for writing in the splendor of mountains and trees. And yes, there's a swimming pool, too. As a bonus, this Retreat is held simultaneously with Artistic New Directions' Performance Improv Retreat. Over (very good) meals, you'll mix with actors and directors who may prove to be collaborators on a project. Each evening the Performance Retreaters present a showcase of their day's work which Playwrights are invited (encouraged!) to attend. Jeffrey Sweet is a member of the playwrights ensemble of the Tony Award-winning Victory Gardens Theatre of Chicago, where he has put up more than a dozen plays, many of them the winner of prizes and nominations. An anthology of nine of his scripts, The Value of Names and Other Plays, has just been published by Northwestern University Press.  His work has been produced in New York, around the country and on international stages with such stars as Helen Hunt, William Petersen, Jon Cryer, Jack Klugman, Jill Eikenberry, Michael Tucker, Lindsay Crouse, Hector Elizondo, and Dan Lauria.  He has also written hundreds of hours of television, picking up the WGA Award and an Emmy nomination. Artistic New Directions has been presenting Summer Retreats for the past 14 years. During the rest of the year, our Development Program is part of the New York City theater scene, including a weekly Open Rehearsal at which authors present portions of their works-in-progress to guided feedback. 8/17 – 8/22, in Big Indian, NY. Tuition: $500. Lodging: $320 (camping), $380 (yurt), $445 (double/shared bath), $540 (double/private bath), $750 (single/shared bath). Deadline on 8/10. www.artisticnewdirections.org

The class is taught by Artistic Director and Founder of The Actors Theatre Workshop, Thurman E. Scott. Mr. Scott's mentor, the great Stella Adler, with whom he shared a creative relationship spanning over 20 years, said, "Thurman E. Scott is the inheritor of the Stanislavsky legacy and of my legacy.

Mr. Scott's many years of study and professional experience as a teacher, actor and director creates a surrounding in which students can feel secure. This creative environment allows students to experience their individuality, make effective powerful choices, express new ideas, and begin the process of fulfilling their creative potential.

GET WRITE TO BUSINESS AND TALK SHOP.
Announcing a new resource: an affordable writing workshop. Jennifer DeMeritt is a writer and performer who recently made a giant life change: quitting her full-time corporate job, going freelance, and committing 110 percent to writing. Her personal essays have been published in nerve.com, Glamour, BUST Magazine and more, and she's performed at NYC’s major spoken-word venues, from KGB to the Gotham Comedy Club. In addition to being an accomplished writer herself, she's got a knack for helping others with their writing. Two years ago she founded a mini-workshop, whose members’ accomplishments include publication in the New York Times, book deals with major publishers (one with a movie option), performances on National Public Radio, and fellowships at prestigious writing conferences. This fall, she's launching a new writing workshop, open to storytellers, monologists, essayists, and fiction writers. The workshop will meet every Tuesday at 7:30 in the East Village. Participants set their own agenda and choose which projects they want to work on. Through discussion and revision, she'll help participants identify the central challenges of each piece and refine the techniques to achieve their artistic vision. The workshop could be helpful for: an actor writing a one-person show; a comedian who wants to branch into storytelling or essay writing; a novelist who needs regular feedback to stay on course; anyone who needs support for a writing project. The workshop is $250 for 10 weeks. If you shop around, you'll find that this is an excellent deal. They are happy to arrange payment plans for artists who are long on commitment but short on cash. Testimonials are available. Please e-mail if you're interested (fenniferjest@hotmail.com), or call at 917/843-6835.

NEED AN ACTING CLASS THAT WILL PROPEL YOUR CAREER FORWARD?
New agent-taught series of classes, with $20 off for TRU readers! As an actor, are you frustrated by: Not being able to secure the audition appointments you know should be yours, not getting callbacks when you go to an audition, not feeling truly comfortable with your audition technique, not feeling truly comfortable with "cold reading" auditions, not finding monologues that suit you and your talents well, not finding monologues that are not already "done to death" by other actors, not finding a teacher who is well-versed in ways of helping you to achieve your career goals, not working with a teacher armed with a wealth of information, knowledge and experiences, willing to reinforce his thoughts and ideas with a veritable trove of anecdotal material, much of it gleaned from his own life and the lives of friends and colleagues? Then you are in luck! Lewis R. Chambers (who founded The Bethel Agency nearly 38 years ago and who has represented actors in all major media) plans a series of 3 or 4 classes during the months ahead. Classes are arranged in blocks of four each, meeting on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday evenings, as well as on Saturday mornings from 10 AM to 1 PM. Evening class hours are flexible - some will begin at 6:00 or 6:30 PM, while others will, in all probability, begin at 7 PM, ending three hours later. Classes are basically scene study, monologues, audition technique, cold readings and, at times, a bit of improv. Informal meetings follow most classes, enabling students to learn more about the business part of their careers. Classes, of four meetings each, are priced at $180 ($160 when you mention TRU), with a non-refundable deposit of $100 to be paid ten days before the start of any skein of classes and the balance to be paid at the first class.

Students are taught a specific technique, developed by Mr. Sabellico, which enables the actor to walk into any audition situation, with strength and clarity and within a few minutes, demonstrate the breadth and depth of their abilities. A highly successful Broadway actor as well as an accomplished director, Richard has been privy to both sides of the audition table. Class runs Monday or Tuesday evenings, 6-9pm for 4 weeks, $350.00.

Remember the Blue Heron Arts Center on East 23rd? That great theater/studio space has now been revived and reopened thanks to Algonquin Theater Productions. They are currently seeking renters for its two performance spaces, two rehearsal spaces and offices. Algonquin Theater Productions has taken over the lease of the former Blue Heron Theater at 123 East 24th Street, between Park and Lexington Avenues. Currently under way are plans to completely remodel the interior lobby so as to better replicate the feel of the era of the original Algonquin Round Table, when such playwrights and wits such as George S. Kaufman, Edna Ferber, Marc Connelly and Robert Benchley thrived. The theater complex features two working venues: The Kaufman Theater, a beautiful 99-seat house with state-of-the-art lighting and sound equipment; The Parker Theater, an intimate 40-seat house, ideal for readings, one-acts and small casts. Both theaters are air conditioned. Also in the complex are two 16' by 24' rehearsal spaces, available from 8am to 11pm daily, and offices, which would be ideal for small theater companies needing a midtown point of operations. All facilities are available immediately. For information on long or short-term rentals, contact either Administrative Director Debra Grimberg at Debragrim@aol.com, or Artistic Director Tony Sportiello at AlgonquinProd@aol.com.

BLEECKER, BUT NOT BLEAK: SEEKING INVESTMENT PARTNERS.
The theatres at 45 Bleecker Street are a multiuse, hybrid theater complex. Former home of the Culture Project, it is the theater complex of the future. Most single theaters and theater complexes in New York City are built on a business model of four hours of use a day, six days a week. This theater complex is built on the business models of Las Vegas casinos where income is based on maximum use of space, revenue per square foot, per minute of the day, seven days a week. We will be open eighteen hours a day, seven days a week. With over 10,000 square feet and three large spaces, a 300-seat theatre, a 150-seat theatre, and a Lobby/Cafe, we have created multiple revenue streams. We will also internally produce shows including The Green Room, which will run seven nights a week starting at 1030PM in the 150-seat theatre. This complex will become the centerpiece, the jewel of downtown Off-Broadway theatre in New York City and a vital, sought-after theater complex that will set the artistic and financial standards for Off-Broadway nationally.
