Acting in a Professional Production: Nicholas Nickleby
Prepare, rehearse, and perform in the legendary 8-hour adaptation of Dickens’ Nicholas Nickleby, working with professional actors and directors as part of a core company of students playing substantial roles. Issues explored in the class include the expectations involved in professional work, how to make strong acting choices within a compressed schedule, and the specific demands of staged readings versus full productions. For the first time, the course will focus on one (huge!) play, the famous but rarely produced eight-hour adaptation of Nicholas Nickleby. The play will be divided into four parts, and students will perform one part each week for four weeks. Acting in a Professional Production provides the perfect opportunity to take this masterpiece on, with all students playing a wide variety of roles, and a series of professional actors in the role of Nicholas. Many roles for all types.

Rehearsals Saturdays 1:30-5:30pm
