Today's featured workshop will interest anyone with aspirations of appearing on-camera.
Sign up now for Improv for On-Camera Auditioning with Patrick Noth!
As semi-scripted TV shows and films become more popular, actors need to prepare themselves for situations with no preparation. In this workshop you’ll get a crash-course in long-form improvisation, and connecting these skills to on-camera acting.
Patrick Noth is an Emmy nominated comedian working in New York City. He began his comedy career studying at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade where he now teaches and performs regularly. His television credits include appearances on Comedy Central, MTV, IFC, TV Land, NBC, Nickelodeon, and countless digital platforms. Similarly, writing credits include Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, and many digital platforms.

Today's featured workshop is Play Like an Ally from the wonderful Stephen Davidson!
Are you looking to increase diversity in your group, theatre, or improv scene? This workshop will focus on practical steps you can take as a player, teacher, and director to make sure everybody feels welcome. Improv can stagnate without diversity because it becomes predictable; turn on your awareness and let this art form continue to surprise and delight you.
