Mina’s fiance Jonathan arrives just in time to try to cure her of the illness before it claims her life.

ABOUT DRAKE WHITE:

Seeing Drake White live is far from an ordinary concert experience. Equal parts warrior leader, holy-fire reverend, and gypsy Appalachian mountain man, he fronts his band with a mix of Muscle Shoals groove and honky-tonk grease. The goal? To continue building an inspired community with his voice, country-soul spirit, and relentless optimism, fusing everything he does — from the shows he plays with The Big Fire (his blue-collar band of road warriors), to the events he hosts at Whitewood Hollow, the rustic event space he hand-designed with his wife, Alex, in rural Tennessee — with the big-tent spirit of a revival.

Masterclass: The Actor's Toolkit
2024-11-09 | Flashback Theater, 209 East Mt. Vernon St., Somerset, KY, 42501, United States
The Actor’s ToolkitA MasterclassTools that will take your character from the page to the stage
As soon as you are cast in a role, your work begins. In order to give a stellar performance, you (the actor) must lay a strong foundation. This foundation includes line memorization, characterization, and scene work. At this masterclass, Steve Cleberg will present his trusted line memorization technique and Julia Chereson will take you through the steps of building a workable character from a script and understanding scenes beat by beat.

Space is limited to 15 seats.
Price: $85
Saturday, November 9th, 2024 10AM-3PM

10:15 to 11:00am- What’s in a Character?
Chereson will instruct the group on what to look for in a script to learn about your character and then how to translate this information into a performance.

11:00 to 12:30pm- How to Memorize Lines? This session will introduce a technique for learning your lines that is systematic, efficient and invigorating. Steve Cleberg has spent over 40 years perfecting a line learning technique that combines the science of memory with the art of acting. Participants will learn how to use the power of performance, the clarity of expression and the nuance of realism in a way that makes the process of learning lines automatic. Cleberg will also share various habits and mindsets that create roadblocks to memorization and offer techniques for avoiding these pitfalls.

12:30- 1:00pm Lunch – Join Julia, Steve, and the rest of the group for lunch and take this opportunity to ask them about their valuable experience as actors. Lunch is provided for masterclass participants.

1:00 to 3:00pm- How to Perform a Scene? Dive Into a scene for the point of view of an actor who has just received their script. Use the tools you learned from the character development session as well as information about the “beats” of a script and elements of a scene to give a compelling performance.
