Learn About Our Script Analysis & Improv Classes!

We have 2 shows in the episode with 3 experienced and creative actors. 

Up first, we have Playhouse West Teacher, Wolf Bodison. 
When analyzing a script, actors must become top notch detectives to uncover the clues in the text; deciphering dialogue, identifying sections, fleshing out their character’s history, discovering story arc, all of which are hidden in plain sight, right there on the page.  With over twenty years of experience as an actor, director and acting teacher, Wolfgang will provide a detailed approach to breaking down a script that will help an actor develop a role that is dynamic, truthful and authentic.

Up next we have Improv Playhouse West Teacher Lincoln Hope and his counterpart, Eric Artell. 
Your agent been pestering you to take improv classes?
Afraid to take a group improv class? This course is for you!
Learning improv has never been so easy.

This fun workshop will build your confidence, creativity, spontaneity, and give you tools to bring into your auditions, performances, life, and onstage work.

In today's episode, we sit down with two Playhouse West teachers, the apprentice and the Jedi Master, Gar Lee and Holly Gagnier.  To all you kids out there wanting to come to Los Angeles or New York to pursue your acting dreams, there is a wealth of knowledge in this episode. In between the advice and cautionary tales, there are some great funny stories here. I also hope I didn't make it awkward with Holly when I told her about watching her on TV when I was a small boy.  #fanboy
