SHELTER CRAFT
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27 & SATURDAY MARCH 30
GENE FRANKEL THEATRE
The Shelter has always been a place for actors to develop their craft. Throughout Shelter X, we will be taking this to the next level with a series of classes to help actors grow their artistic practice. Through sessions with top acting instructors, Shelter Craft offer actors a place to hone specific skills that we have found integral to our work with playwrights, auditioning, and building characters.
CLASSES & REGISTRATION

ABOUT THE CLASS
If we turned off the sound on your monologue would we know the story? This class uses directing techniques to make your staging suspenseful and create a framework for your monologues, helping to eliminate nerves and judgment and promote a practice of creative control. Take home practical applications to use for your next audition piece.
