We are thrilled to welcome back award winning actor, Veena Sood, most recently star of “Children Ruin Everything” with her popular one-day workshop IMPROV FOR THE ACTOR.

In this dynamic session, actors will learn practical tools and rehearsal techniques to develop character, explore scenes, and think in your feet. The focus is not on trying to be “funny”, but rather completely present and ready for anything.

March 23rd. 10am - 3pm.

Full details are available on our website - please see the link in our bio for more information.

Railtown Play Reading Series

We’re excited to continue with our monthly play reading series at Railtown! Our next dates will be Feb 20, March 20, April 24.

Each session will begin with a 20-minute warm-up led by Kendra Anderson, our Voice, Breath, and Movement instructor. This warm-up is for both the actors reading and those attending to listen.

After the warm-up, we’ll dive into the play, with a 10-minute break between acts. We’ll also set aside time at the end for a discussion.

This series is a wonderful opportunity to engage with inspiring writing, get a vocal warm-up, and connect with our community.

**This is a no-fee offering for current and former Railtown students.

To sign up for a specific date, please email both [email protected] and [email protected]  

Please note that seating is limited and by invitation only.


Classes. Coaching. Community.
