Conservatory Report

"The Conservatory (like most of our committees) has taken a back seat to the merger campaign — BUT we are back! I taught a class for the SAG-AFTRA Conservatory in San Francisco, as well as classes in Portland and Seattle, and I must say, our local actors are every bit as good as theirs. In fact, I see more speaking roles being cast here than in most regions on the mainland. I had a great response to the classes, and I plan to teach a class here in June.

"Also, returning to the island in July to teach her popular Meisner-based workshop is Iris Klein. We hope to have at least two more classes to announce soon, which is important because we will have (at least) two series shooting here this summer. Now is the time to train if you want to work!"
