Scott's Thoughts on Live Theatre

Scott's Thoughts on Live Theatre This page is devoted to my work as Acting Instructor and Coach. Let the sharing begin! I work mainly with Adults 18 years and older.

I am a professional Canadian Actor, Singer, and Director who spends a portion of each year facilitating Acting Workshops, Directing Workshops and Audition Preparation classes. I recently had the distinction of being voted Best Acting Instructor by followers of Simcoe.Com. I'm also the recipient of a City of Barrie Excellence in the Arts Award in 2009. I teach both online and in person and I have

a sliding scale of pricing based on the needs of the participant. I don't believe that money should be an impediment to becoming a better actor. In addition to my instructing I sit on the Board of Directors for The South Simcoe Theatre and I'm a part-time co-host of the podcast Before the Downbeat. I am a Queer Elder and my pronouns are he/him

As promised, my next Season of workshops has dropped!

This fall, The Scott Studio is offering afternoon and evening opportunities to explore play reading, acting, directing, ensemble performance, monologue preparation, and audition preparation for post-secondary theatre applicants.

Whether you're looking for a new creative challenge, returning to the rehearsal hall, preparing for future training, or simply hoping to continue growing in the craft, I hope you'll find something that speaks to you.

(And if you don't, please let me know. I genuinely value your feedback.)

Take a look through the Fall Season and see what catches your imagination. The door is open. I'd love to welcome you. 3TY

This week, we added a few more chairs to the room.
It has been wonderful connecting with people who are curious about Acting Fundamentals and ready to explore storytelling, creativity, and connection in the rehearsal room.
Our next session runs July 14 – August 18, and there is still a seat available if you’ve been thinking about joining us.
No pressure. No previous experience required. Just curiosity, collaboration, and a willingness to discover what happens when we listen, observe, and respond.
The door is open. Join us when you're ready.

"When did you take your first acting class?" is the question that opens the door. And the question that follows naturally is, "And what did you learn that still serves you today?" Thank you Peter Hamilton. Thank you Maggi Payne. And thank you to Andrew Prashad for the beautiful editing work and the subtle soundscape. I cannot recommend Andrew and his work more highly. 3TY ❤
