Plan A(cting)

Do I get to do a scene every week?

Yes! In order to be a fantastic actor, you must train on a regular basis. You will not get a six-pack by watching someone else do sit-ups! Yes, watching others work helps your craft a great deal, but you will do that every week regardless. You never just come in to do your scene and then leave. The environment we strive to create is non-competitive, supportive and fun, but also intense and challenging.

Do I get to take the scene home, work on it with my partner it and then bring it to class?

We use cold reading to get actors out of their head and into their gut. Acting is not an intellectual process. It is an emotional process. Yes, you will go through the technical process of breaking down the script, but we teach to never “plan” your performance.

Do you not use any technique with your teaching?

We never discourage from any techniques brought in by students. However, if what you are practicing has gotten you in your head, prevented you from trusting yourself, kept you from being organic and unpredictable, we can help rejuvenate your approach. Our class can bring you back to your unique self and remind you why you started doing this in the first place.

Do I learn scene study?

Absolutely! We created a 14-point scene study breakdown so that everyone can better understand the work they are about to take on. That being said, we teach you how to leave that homework at the door.

Does Plan A(cting) offer refunds?

Plan A(cting) is unique because the classes are kept small so that each actor is allotted a generous amount of time to work and receive individual instruction every class. In order to maintain this, we have a monthly flat-rate tuition and are unable to offer proration for any missed classes (even for bookings).
