Weekend Acting / Writing workshop: Parents can workshop, too!
On-Camera Weekend Workshop for $99 for any age! at the Cedar Theater with the opportunity to get a $50, one-shot session from an excellent photographer, Eddie Garcia.
I've been SO disappointed with headshots in the past, but I have two or three people I now trust and Eddie Garcia is one. So, parents, come join us or take one with your kid for $50 and then have your child alone for a separate $50. Many times commercial auditions want real relatives paired up so this is a great thing to have!

That's $149 for footage and photos!

You will write and record original pieces with your kids or just learn about the process of self-taping, what the resources are to find auditions, and the truth behind getting an agent. THERE IS BOTH A DATE AND A SPACE LIMITATION SO DON'T DELAY!

Three of our "troupe" landed the City Commercial I mentioned online! I couldn't even recommend Milo because we are out of town! Keep an eye out for the ad and cheer on our friends.

CONGRATULATIONS Aiden, Julian, and Owen :)

There will be a weekend On-Camera Workshop for $99! at the Cedar Theater with the opportunity to get a one-shot session from an excellent photographer AND we can record original pieces straight from your phone (or mine) as we learn about self-taping auditions. THERE IS BOTH A DATE AND A SPACE LIMITATION SO DON'T DELAY!

In lieu of an acting class this fall, I'm offering an ONLINE sketch writing workshop from which we'll record our best bits when I return. We will record this during the workshop and at other arranged times.* Class starts next Wednesday 5PM-6PM. Six weeks for only $30!!! Venmo or paypal.me/headspacearena

"There will be a talent release agreement that we can alter based on each individual's needs so that the kids' work can provide exposure but without privacy infringement.

Go to paypal.me/headspacearena and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

There will be no class this fall, but I'm hoping for a workshop. I'm also going to do some sketch writing online if anyone is interested in a donation class with me. We'll record what we like from our writing in the fall. Thanks!

Hey Families! The City of Lancaster is making a commercial and I gave them a list of names. I'm so sad that Milo and I won't be in town to be in it with you, but I hope they find the right fit. Just remember, they don't just need smart, talented, cooperative people. They will be looking at kids who are the right age, size, and look who fit well together for the vision of the director. Break a leg!
