Actor Training
Actor training courses are held at the theater several times a year in 8-week periods. Interested actors should mail or drop off a headshot, resume, and cover letter describing why they are interested in training with the gang. The cover letter should talk about what shows the applicant has seen at the theater and what aspects of the ensemble attracted the applicant to consider training.

Famous quotes containing the words actor and/or training:
“The actor should not play a part. Like the Aeolian harps that used to be hung in the trees to be played only by the breeze, the actor should be an instrument played upon by the character he depicts.”
—Alla Nazimova (1879–1945)
“I’m not suggesting that all men are beautiful, vulnerable boys, but we all started out that way. What happened to us? How did we become monsters of feminist nightmares? The answer, of course, is that we underwent a careful and deliberate process of gender training, sometimes brutal, always dehumanizing, cutting away large chunks of ourselves. Little girls went through something similarly crippling. If the gender training was successful, we each ended up being half a person.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
