Viewpoints are simply another way to consider how to create a character and how that character reacts and behaves honestly in the world which the writer has created. Through this Viewpoint workshop you will be we able to come up with a myriad of possible choices. Viewpoints work equally well in both theater and in front of a camera. After all, acting is not acting, it is telling the simple truth. And that’s true in any medium. But before that happens, you have to get brave, fearless and work with reckless abandon. All the time.
This is a study in character development, finding possible truths through movement that you may have never thought of before and most importantly, reigniting your imagination.
Let yourself off the hook. Remember acting is not only a craft, but an Art.
A special Lunch is included at Digbees Cafe! | Buy Tickets |

| | This one-man adaptation is inspired from a desire to bring a new dimension to Dickens’ familiar story. Wih only one actor on stage, embodying every character the result is the creation of a more intimate and direct connection with the audience.
The idea of a single actor portraying multiple characters is not new to the theater, but execution of A Concise Christmas Carol elevates this concept with a grip on our hearts and imaginations almost defying description.
In our time of fleeting trends and decreasing attention spans, the Dicken's Christmas Carol is a story of enduring appeal to our imaginations of the fog, the cold, the parties, the sense of place and of course the relatability of these characters. Above all it is the story’s themes of redemption and the healing power of love and human connection that we come back to year after year. | Buy Tickets |
