Kathleen has been acting professionally for over 30 years, and while she started her acting career on the stage, the last 12 years have been primarily in film and television. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Kent State University with a BA in Theatre, and an undergrad Honors Thesis in Shakespearean Performance. She spent 12 years in New York City working as an actress on the stage, and has spent the last 12 years in the Atlanta market, primarily as a film and television actress. For four of those years, she was the co-founder and Executive Director of The Circle Ensemble Theatre Company.

Throughout her years in NYC and Atlanta, coaching other actors for auditions and technique and teaching acting classes and workshops have been a constant. With decades of experience as an acting coach, she is adept in learning style assessment, performance assessments, and giving performance adjustments that are insightful and specifically tailored to each individual’s talents and strengths.

As a working actor in this market, she brings vital, up-to-the-moment insight and energy to the studio and prepares and encourages her clients to do the same. Please check out Kathleen’s film and television credits on IMdB.com. Kathleen is represented by Atlanta Models and Talent.

Course goals: Understand Basic Story Structure, how that applies to monologues, and the application of basic text analysis to this process (I use PA analysis techniques) to master and perform two monologues.

In the Monologue Class actors will learn the Arc of Story, how this applies to their work as an actor, and specifically in the preparation and analysis of a monologue. As an actor, I have been asked to perform monologues on the spot in everything from an industrial audition to a feature film audition. Not to mention, television writers today are writing monologue after monologue for their leads…just watch any episode of Game of Thrones, Scandal, Blacklist, or This is Us, to name a few. 

I believe professional actors must have four monologues at all times “in their back pocket”…a comedic, dramatic, character piece, and period piece. But not all monologues are created equal. 

In the recent years Casting Directors have held Meals for Monologues events, giving actors an opportunity to showcase the very skill I am teaching in this class. In one and half minutes, how can actors capture the attention of a Casting Director who could in turn call them in for auditions and change the course of their career? By starting here …at The Monologue Class.

NOTE – This class is, as are all Drama Inc. classes (unless stated otherwise), 18 years of age and up.

Having a strong working knowledge of basic improv skills is vital for any actor. Introduce yourself to (or review) the basic tenets of improvisation and stagecraft, then apply these techniques to creative storytelling. This class will prepare you for improvising with anyone anywhere, creating honest, in-the-moment performances. Learn listening, give and take, and stretch your character skills in a made up world.
PLEASE NOTE: If paying after a session has begun OR has sold out…you will be paying for the next session, which is TBA.
