Jack Plotnick in NYC

He's back in town! And the link to his excellent free book for actors is on this site. See it to the right? Yup, that's it. Here is the invite Jack sent out. As always, if you go let me know what you think. (And tell folks I sent you.) I had a great experience at his audition seminar a while back. Good stuff.

Jack says:

Hi Gang-

I'll be back in NYC next week, doing two Lecture Seminars!
...including an Advanced Lecture (with all new material) for those actors who have already seen my Introductory Lecture. Info is below.

These lectures will be just $20 each. No RSVP necessary, the more the merrier!
You can pay in cash or check (made out to "Jack-O-Lantern Productions, Inc.") upon arrival.
These events will be held at Ripley-Grier 520 Eighth Avenue, between 36th & 37th Street.

INTRODUCTORY LECTURE - Wednesday Jan. 25th, 7-8:30pm, room 16H
In this life-changing introductory lecture, I will cover such things as:
- The SECRETS to booking work that no one is telling you.
- How to free yourself from self-destructive thoughts and anxieties.
...This lecture is highly recommended if you've never seen me speak.

ADVANCED LECTURE - Thursday Jan. 26th, 7-8:30pm, room 17A
In this all new lecture, I will cover such things as:
- The BIG LIE teachers have given us, that can destroy your acting.
- Character work: the healthy way to "become" another person.
- How to cry and the myth of preparation.
- Meeting your inner child and freeing yourself from the past.

Looking forward!
Jack

Do Your Own Show!

Peter Michael Marino is a fantastic one-person show developer. He directed me in my most recent one-person show. The one about Sandra O'Day, the ex-con motivational speaker with anger management problems. What? You didn't know I did that show? Here's a link to her blog:

The O'Day Way

And here's a link to Peter's class. He'll get you started on your own show. I guarantee it. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Boot Camp!

My friend is offering this class/workhop.

This sounds great. Marlo has choreographed and directed projects I've been in and she is spot-on fab. As an actor, I can say I can't wait to work with her again. Let me know if you take this workshop. I'm considering it myself.
