ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Kathleen Randazzo is an actress, director and producer with over 20 years in the entertainment industry. She has worked with some of Hollywood’s top talent, including Scott Caan, James Franco, David Spade, Olivia Newton John and George Segal.
Kathleen was asked by Scott Caan to direct him in many of his original works: Word Faithful, The Performance of Heartbreak: An Epilogue, and in 2019, This Isn't 40, which earned critical acclaim and sold-out performances.
Kathleen also directed the hit comedy play “Psyche on Vine”. The play featured a cast of many recognizable film and television actors including Sean Whalen (Twister, Never Been Kissed), Sean Carrigan (American Vandal, The Young and the Restless, Ford vs Ferrari) and Wolfgang Bodison (A Few Good Men, Tucker’s War). This raucous comedy ran for a year in Hollywood to sold out shows.
As an actress, Kathleen had a recurring role on the first season of VEEP on HBO. Recently, she appeared in the James Franco project, TENN based on the life of Tennessee Williams and Ultimate Evil, A Web Series based on the Son of Sam Killings.
Kathleen is a teacher at Playhouse West in North Hollywood. In 2014 Kathleen was so inspired by her students she made her first film, Promise. The following year Promise got worldwide distribution. In 2015, her second film, April Fools was part of a feature that won the Most Innovative Film Award at the Burbank Film Festival.
CLASS DESCRIPTION
Be a part of a writer's room! We will find inspiration from sharing stories about the weekend, our crazy families, animals, and lives until we come up with a pitch! The goal of the class is to collaborate in making your own WEB SERIES.
One of Kathleen's greatest joys is teaching at Playhouse West where she inspires a new generation of actors, writers and filmmakers. She is the founder of the Playhouse West Production Class where she mentors the students as they write, direct and act in their own original plays. This year due to COVID 19 the students in her Production Class reinvented themselves and the class. They created their own Web series, and thus, the Meetup Class was born!
