Free Acting Workshops May 2 and 23
Free, thanks to Driftwood Players. Open to anyone ages 12 and up, not just Driftwood folks - tell your drama-curious friends. No experience necessary. If you’re new to acting, we suggest you sign up for both workshops. If you’re intrigued by Shakespeare, sign up for Classical Theatre. The instructor, Tara Blasco, was our fabulous Viola in Twelfth Night, and is an experienced actor and Driftwood Theatre School teacher.
