Seminar Series

In addition to classes, in order to introduce our actors to members of the professional world, and thus to the practical application of their craft, a series of informal guest seminars are scheduled with playwrights, directors, actors, and other members of the theatre profession and its related fields.

During these hour-long seminars, guests share their stories with our actors, often times conveying how they’ve grown personally and professionally in their careers.

Series guests have included: Alan Alda, Kevin Bacon, Gary Beach, Reed Birney, Philip Bosco, Matthew Broderick, Betty Buckley, Kevin Cahoon, Zoe Caldwell, Len Cariou, Michael Cerveris, Kathleen Chalfant, Deborah S.
