Over the 4 weeks, Shad guides students through their scene study and gives personal, thorough, and supportive critiques about each individual’s work to prepare the actor for more advanced study.

Additionally, each week, Shad begins class with a discussion on a hot topic in the industry, where students will learn about their market and gain important knowledge of how to be a working actor.
