MST presents two great classes for adults...
Intro to Acting and Improvisation
Exercise your creativity, spontaneity, and confidence while strengthening your teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in a fun and supportive environment. This class, taught by Bryan Close, will focus on the fun of performing without the pressure. If it's been a while since you've acted or even if you never have, these improv exercises and short scenes will help you be more creative and improve your communication skills while giving you a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Bryan Close teaches acting at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. Since 2005 he has been the program director and principal acting teacher at the North Carolina Governor's School.
