In Level 1 Acting, students will dive into the beginning of your Acting training here at The PIT. You’ll begin by doing some character work, to create realistic and true characters onstage, leading into performing truthful monologues as a given character. As you’re given text to work with, your instructor will dive into some script analysis with you, to help you find your entry points as an actor into any piece you’re given. This will lead into portraying strong relationships onstage, and exploring the truths of the world of your characters.
Once you complete Levels 1-2 of the Acting program, you’ll be able to take the Acting Electives and participate in our PIT-izens Acting Showcase, with the opportunity to perform a monologue or paired scene for the community and some industry professionals.
