Ready to be amazed at how much your acting skills and confidence levels can increase in just six weeks? You’ll be handed scripts that will challenge and stretch your acting abilities, comedic timing, and overall performance as you create believable relationships with your scene partner and increase the trust and confidence in yourself.
