Join us for a weekend of free community workshops celebrating thirty years of The Actors Center!
On Saturday, October 17, and Sunday, October 18, a rotating roster of teachers and guests will lead a series of large-format workshops as The Actors Center community comes together in the studio to play, explore, and deepen our craft.
All current and former company members, conservatory and studio workshop alumni, mentorship program participants, and friends are invited to attend. Attend for a session or two, or for the entire two days.
A 30th anniversary deserves more than just a party! This weekend is a celebration of what our community has done best for thirty years: extraordinary teachers working alongside extraordinary artists, gathering and going deep with each other in the artistic work.
