Marc Zatorsky's class is an opportunity to work with an instructor who will develop a character specifically designed for you and write original material that will highlight your talents. The workshop provides a great opportunity for anyone who desires stage time a chance to perform in front of your peers or work on your monologue and audition pieces. It also provides an opportunity to perform existing projects (many of them written and directed by Marc) with other actors, perform improv games, stand-up routines, cold reads and much more. The workshop provides a friendly atmosphere where everyone from the first time student actor to the seasoned performer has the opportunity to perform on stage. Marc's class is fun and educational at the same time. It provides an outlet for all actors to continuously work on their craft. (561)-389-4603 OR EMAIL UncleMarcLaughs@aol.com

The best definition of acting that I know is: "Acting is behaving truthfully in imaginary circumstances." It would be wise to weigh this statement carefully before continuing, for it is more than a definition, it contains a fundamental philosophy regarding the art. The key word in this phrase is "truthfully." It is over this word and its possible alternate "effectively," that almost all disputes arise. This class is built on the foundation of this method.
