Bucket list? New Year’s Resolution? The chance to add drama to life?
Take care of it all via Acting Classes with Jack Dryden at the Greek Cultural Center in Astoria from Jan. 10 to Feb. 14.
Dryden, who has a Master in Fine Arts from Brown/Trinity Rep, is an actor, director, and voice coach with a comedy background. The St. Louis native has directed and produced shows in his hometown, New York City, Chicago, Indianapolis, and Providence.
He also founded The Garret Theater.
The six classes will take place on Wednesdays at 7:30 pm, and the focus will be monologues so students can work on their approaches to text. All skill and experience levels are invited.
The price is $300, and payment plans are available. To enroll, fill out this form. Send any questions to [email protected].
“I strive to create spaces of mutual respect, humility, and bravery, and to let the work do the talking,” he states on his website, “what really must be learned is how to trust your instrument’s beautiful intuition. That’s what I help you to do, and I have loads of fun doing it.”
Founded in 1974 and located at 26-80 30th St., the Greek Cultural Center presents educational and entertainment programs in Greek and English. Productions are often in Greek with simultaneous translation in English.
