Breaking Down Broadway

Are you interested in interpreting theater and not sure where and how to get started?
Do you want to improve your skills and sharpen your process when analyzing a script to perform the interpretation?
If so… then this is the forum for you!
Breaking Down Broadway is designed to be a eight-month “book club - like” exploration into theatrical interpreting, running from January to August annually. With this format, we will take one script and spend the extended time breaking it down, analyzing it for meaning and developing the interpreted performance.
All this will take place in a safe, supportive and FUN environment!
