Brian d'Arcy James, Jack Coleman, Robyn Buck Join Summer Zoom Sessions
We were thrilled to welcome several acting professionals to our Zoom sessions the past two weeks for Beyond the Script classes with Kim Hanke! Kim’s “Connecting with the Monologue” and “Scenes and Situations” sessions were brought to life as she connected the class material to the lived experiences of these real-world stars. Students enjoyed listening to the theatre, film, and television journeys of each guest, and were able to pick their brains in Q&A format at the end of the class.
