“As an actor we get in our heads. ‘We ask did I make the right choice? ‘Did I hit the notes. Did I give my best performance? Is this really the best that I can do?’
I know I’ve found myself completely overwhelmed searching for that “character”.
I was blown away by Michelle Danner’s transformational workshop “The Golden Box”

This is an example of a “Mike Leigh” exercise. In this improvisation, the actor gets into complete character and sets him/herself in a particular place and time.
Preview Tickets are available until Sept 11th to Tennessee Williams classic masterpiece “The Glass Menagerie”
One of the greatest American plays finds new light in this critically-lauded re-imagining of the classic story of a fragile family hanging its hopes on the arrival of a “gentleman caller.”
Two-time Tony Award®-winner Judith Ivey features in director Gordon Edelstein’s sparkling new production that makes this Menagerie as fresh and vital and sadly magical as its original 1944 debut.

| Patch Darragh | Keira Keeley | Judith Ivey | Ben McKenzie |
Returning to the roles they played at the Long Wharf Theatre and in the subsequent Roundabout presentation are Patch Darragh as Tom, the son who works in a shoe factory and is torn between his role as the family breadwinner and his desire to lead a life of his own and Keira Keeley as Laura, his frail sister who has retreated to an imaginary world caring for her collection of glass animals.
“The quicksilver Darragh is a revelation …[He] is giving the kind of performance that lingers in the mind for life.”
- Erik Haagensen, Back Stage
“…there’s subtle craft in Keeley’s take on Laura’s fragility, and her performance grows weightier and more complex as the story culminates in a candle-lit kiss with her oblivious gentleman caller,”
- Jeff Labrecque, Entertainment Weekly
Ben McKenzie, who is best known for his roles on “Southland” and “The O.C.,” and in the films “Johnny Got His Gun” and “Junebug” joins the company as Jim, the Gentleman Caller.
Preview tickets $35 full price regular tickets after Sept 11th $65

- I think the most important thing to do when you are starting out in Hollywood is to build a solid foundation outside of the industry. This is an industry of ups and downs. If your life is solely based on this industry, you will eventually burn out
- Stay out of your own way
- Confidence comes from the work you put into your craft. So do the work.
- When looking for an agent and a manager, it’s important to choose one that will work for you. Early on in my career, I signed with a big agency and I got lost in the shuffle. Bigger isn’t always better, finding representation that believes in you in key.
- When you come to Hollywood, I think the first thing you should do is find a well known acting teacher and get to work. The first question agents, managers and casting directors will be asking is where are you currently studying.
Martin Booker.
“The Key to getting an acting career is discipline.
It’s all about the responsibility after this
weekend, you can no longer say “I don’t know”
