Brooklyn – John Stillwaggon’s celebrated acting school opens its new master class program with a presentation of one of the American theater’s best ensemble drama, Twelve Angry Men.
This classic play centers on the deliberating jury of what appears to be an open and shut case … until one juror questions what “reasonable doubt” truly looks like. We are then taken on a journey that pits character study with the law. The twelve will never be the same again. Mr. Stillwaggon has taken his students on a similar journey, weaving character development with ensemble performance. ACT-OUT’s The Master Class gives its students a chance to experience the process of live theater performance in a safe and non-judgmental atmosphere.
The cast blends exceptional newcomers with continuing education artists. The program includes Raja RG, Joyce Adams, William Doyle, Olga Privman, Andy Guzman, Andy Castillo, Robert Aloi, Christopher Sirota, Robert Saunders, John Harrison, Mohammed Saad, Kristen Blessin, and Eric Fitzgerald
