Are you curious about acting? Ever thought about going to school to study theatre? Directing? Design? Playwriting? Theatre history? Maybe curious to know what theater school looks and feels like but don’t actually want to do it? Maybe you do, but don’t want to pay for classes?
Or have you studied theatre? Do you already work in theater? Want to know more? Want to learn about a different discipline?
Whatever the case, whatever the thing is that’s got you interested, give a listen to Everything I Learned in Theater School.
I’m Max. I’m a professional theatre artist and teacher. I’ve learned heaps about the art of theater over the years and instead of keeping it all to myself, I want to share it. With you!
In my new podcast, I’ll scour my memory (and my notebooks if I can find them) and share with you the things I learned and the experiences I had. I’ll also talk with other artists as I take you down the path toward a well-rounded education in the art of theatre.
