This 10 week course explores monologues or scenes. Actors explore character through exercises, script analysis, and the rehearsal of scene work. Actors spend time finding the objective of a character, and creating within the truth of the character’s objective. We also examine committing to the moment and maintaining that commitment to character when performing a scene. Instructor John Tomlinson is a member of the Lake County Theatre Company.
