Evening Conservatory Program

audition required.
begins January 2010
price: $5,000 per semester

The Evening Conservatory is a one year program, with the option of a second year of training if both the administration and the students feel it is appropriate, designed for the student actor who wants a cohesive, intensive program, but cannot commit to a 30-hour a week daytime program. Classes meet at night Monday through Friday, 18-20 hours per week. The studio takes in a new class in January and September of every year.

The First Year
The first year of the program focuses on providing students a foundation from which to grow through a firm acting technique, voice and speech work, movement and physical exploration as well as contemporary and classical scene work. Students will develop a facile and responsive body, a strong and clear voice, and clear understanding of the Adler Technique. The first year ends with a performance of a play, open to the public.

The Second Year
The second year concentrates on applying the tools learned in the first year through intense contemporary and classical scene work with continued voice and speech work and an exploration of physical acting. Also, students have an ongoing class on preparing for the profession with renowned actor and director, Peter Flynn, with additional industry guests throughout the class. The second year culminates with the performance of a play, open to the public, and an Industry Showcase.
