Meisner Technique Workshop

with D.W. Brown

This course of study introduces actors to the core principles and practices of Sanford Meisner’s technique.

This workshop meets 3 times a week with the following schedule:
Mondays from 1:00pm – 4:00pm
Wednesdays from 6:00pm – 9:00pm
Fridays from 6:00pm – 9:00pm
