CURRENT CLASSES AVAILABLE:

Adult Acting Workshop

Our philosophy at MTC is nurturing, professional and supportive, so we will all be working together for the best educational and fun experience. Students will explore acting techniques that for new actors will build a solid acting foundation by developing integral interaction and reactionary skills, and for veteran actors, will further evolve the skills they have in place. Students will be working with scene partners, rehearsing monologues, and partaking in acting exercises. If you have any questions about the program, please feel free to contact Jim Schilling at jschill246@gmail.com.

Beginning to Advanced actors will benefit from this class. The class will include group exercises, acting technique, scene work and monologue work.
