Deadline: Apply for Acting in a Professional Production

Our popular Acting in a Professional Production class is back! Taught by Theatre Lab Co-Executive Director Deb Gottesman, this class will have students prepare, rehearse, and perform in a series of staged readings, working with professional directors and actors 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.

This year's session of Acting in a Professional Production explores plays that focus on acts of political resistance: Rhinoceros, The Crucible, Inherit the Wind, and Bruce Norris’ adaptation of The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui. Many roles for all types.

Apply to audition by Thursday, August 28, 2025.
