UPCOMING EVENTS!

VIEWPOINTS MASTERCLASS SERIES

Last year, Shea’s partnered with ARTA to host a Viewpoints Masterclass, taught by Kate LoConti-Alcocer, which was a wild success. We are thrilled to announce that together we have developed a full series! In this series of 4 masterclasses, Kate LoConti-Alcocer will explore all 9 segments of Viewpoints, teaching 3 per class. The last session will focus on devised pieces synthesizing the work of previous classes. For adult actors, directors, and stage managers alike!

Interested participants should plan to attend all sessions.

Maximum enrollment: 25
