Session #3 | MARCH 28 - MAY 23

SUNDAY EVENINGS | 5:30-8:30pm

ACTORS’ SHOWCASE | Monday, May 24 at 7:00pm

All levels of experience welcome!

For those new to the stage, we will explore the basics of acting, learning to read a script to find clues as to who the character is and what motivates them, and making your performance truthful. Text for beginning actors will primarily be provided by the instructor. FOR THE FIRST CLASS: Come prepared to have fun and to try something new.

Returning and advanced actors will primarily bring in their own choice of monologues and scenes and we work on what you, individually, want and need to focus on - such as developing a wider range of characters, analyzing classical text, pacing, pushing the boundries of what type of material you’re comfortable performing, audition techniques, etc. The class is really for you to have a sounding board and a safe environment to continue experimenting and growing as an actor. FOR THE FIRST CLASS: Bring in a monologue you’ve done some work on.

Everyone in the workshop will participate in the ACTORS’ SHOWCASE on Monday, May 24 at 7:00pm.

INSTRUCTOR | ABET’s workshops are taught by Caryl Butterley, who recently returned to Jacksonville after acting and directing in New York City for over 20 years. She studied acting with Sandy Dennis at HB Studio in NYC, musical theatre performance with Betty Buckley, and was a fellow at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre Center. Since returning to Jax she has acted in Ian Mairs’ production of 7-7, and directed Guys and Dolls (Theatre Jax), Rear End (ABET) and Aussie Song (ABET).

TUITION | 9* week session is $150

*Note: This session has an extra class due to one of the nights (April 4) falling on Easter. We will have class that night for anyone wishing to attend, in addition to the regular 8 weeks of class.
