Workshops are cast a month in advance, so by the time each one-month workshop begins, actors will already have their lines learned.  During the four weeks of the workshop, actors rehearse the play on Monday and Wednesday evenings 7-10 pm, and are invited to join the Sunday class (at no cost) to work on exercises in voice, movement, text and character analysis. Shows are presented in our Tribeca theatre.
