Monologues: The Actor's Greatest Asset

For many actors, MONOLOGUES are scary, because an actor has no one to “play against” (or react to). This class teaches that once an actor begins to understand how to break down a monologue into its objective (Why the monologue is being presented), the tactics they use to achieve it (The choices the character makes to accomplish the purpose of the piece), and the obstacles they must fight (The challenges to the character in relating it), they begin to realize that a monologue is a welcome opportunity to showcase the choices they make (and the permission to make them!), their unique abilities, and the chance to tell a story to a captive audience in the most unique way possible—THEIR way. Great for auditions and to build confidence in an actors’ repertoire!

Tuesday/Thursday 5:30pm-6:00pm PST
June 9-July 14
Ages 8+
12 classes/1/2 hour each class
Instructor: Jason Bortz

Character Work: Going Deeper into the Craft

Creating characters who think, speak and behave differently from other characters (and ourselves!) is the ongoing challenge for actors. This class covers the creation of individual characters, starting with the script and how a writer presents each character “Voice” through the choices they make in speaking and behaving; we’ll explore physicality and movement, and finally speech patterns, dialectics and vocal manipulation. This is a great class for those who want to develop unique, psychologically sound and believable personalities for any role!

Pippin

MTC Main Stage Production!

With an infectiously unforgettable score from four-time Grammy winner, three-time Oscar winner and musical theatre giant, Stephen Schwartz, Pippin is the story of one young man's journey to be extraordinary. Heir to the Frankish throne, the young prince Pippin is in search of the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. He seeks it in the glories of the battlefield, the temptations of the flesh, and the intrigues of political power (after disposing of his father, King Charlemagne the Great). In the end, though, Pippin finds that happiness lies not in extraordinary endeavors, but rather in the unextraordinary moments that happen every day.

Ages: 12-Adult

Doctor Dolittle Jr.

MTC presents "Doctor Dolittle Jr."

The classic tale of kindness to animals trots, crawls and flies onto the stage in Doctor Dolittle JR. All of the characters we've come to love through the stories of Hugh Lofting and the magical movie musical are given new life in the stage version.

The musical tells the classic tale of a wacky, but kind, doctor who can talk to animals, taking the audience on a journey from the small English village of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh to the far corners of the world. When Doctor Dolittle attempts to help a seal named Sophie, he’s wrongly accused of murder and stands trial before General Bellowes. Once pronounced innocent, Dolittle is free to continue with his search for the Great Pink Sea Snail — the oldest and wisest of the creatures on earth.
