Free Meisner Technique Taster — Tuesday 27th @ 6:30pm (2 hours)*

We’re running a free 2-hour Meisner Technique taster at Playhouse East, taught by *Simon Furness (Head Teacher, Actors East)*.

It’s open to anyone interested in training and wanting to understand how we work — whether you’re new to Meisner or looking for a serious, process-led acting room.

This is also the last chance to experience the work before our next Full Training group begins in late February.
The Full Training is specialised and capped at 10 students, and you’ll need to have completed an *Intro Course* with us to qualify.

✅ *Book your free place here:*
