Classes, taught by Associate Director Zan Sawyer-Dailey, are filled on a first-come basis. Each student works at his or her own skill level and pace. Classes are held in the 5th floor rehearsal halls of the Alexander Speer Arts and Commerce Building, located at 315 W Market Street, behind Actors Theatre.

Classes are designed for adult students, age 19 and older. Teaching is based on a realistic, naturalistic approach to stage acting through text analysis skills. Students work on selected monologues, scenes, and cold readings. To apply fill out the application form.

ACTORS CONGRATULATES WILLIAM MCNULTY
William McNulty, a long-time member of Actors Theatre's resident acting company, was recently named a recipient of a Fox Foundation Resident Actor Fellowship in the Distinguished Artist category. One of only three fellowships awarded, the fellowship is intended to aid the actor's artistic and professional development, while deepening and enriching the actor's relationship with his home theatre. The award, which is administered by Theatre Communications Group, will allow McNulty to benefit from high-profile training programs to continue his development as both an actor and a teacher.

PAUL OWEN SALUTE
Paul Owen has been at the very heart of Actors Theatre for thirty-six seasons. He served as set designer for nearly all of the productions since he joined Actors in 1971. In the early days, he also designed costumes and lighting, and over the years has served as friend, mentor and guru to many of us. On April 18 Actors Theatre commemorated Paul’s remarkable and continuing contribution by naming the 44,000 square foot production studio at 9th and Magnolia in his honor.

A number of generous individuals contributed to the Paul Owen Fund to enable this naming opportunity. Thank you! If you would like to make a contribution in honor of Paul Owen’s tenure at Actors Theatre, please contact Christen Boone at 584-1265 ext. 3013 or by email at CBoone@ActorsTheatre.org Paul Owen (far right, white shirt) with the production studio staff

ACTORS CONTRIBUTES NEW SPACE
TO JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT’S FINANCE PARK

Formerly, the Finance Park contained a very general arts section for students to visit and decide their entertainment budget. However, Actors Theatre has recently partnered with Junior Achievement to transform this space into a dynamic theatre display complete with a ticket booth, seats and a mural showing a live performance taking place on stage.
