The Best Acting Class in Hollywood: Jack Plotnick Actor/Director rom "Ugly Betty"

My recommendation for a excellent acting class. Tell Jack, Marylin sent you. He is amazing. A real working actor, director and writer. He was a series regular on "Ugly Betty." "So, he's the best. Thanks I'll check him out with Bogie."

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY:

1. RSVP now for a performing spot at: .  All rsvp's must go to that address.

2. In your rsvp, you are required to let me know approximately how long it's been since your last performance in my workshop (or whether it's your first time).

3. Make sure to tell me which workshop you are rsvp'ing for (or "either").

You will receive a confirmation email within a couple of days.  You may cancel with 24 hour notice.

It may be difficult to get a spot, and I am sorry for that. But the workshops are always FREE to watch, as often as you like.  

AND the first actors to arrive at 6pm get the spot of any no-shows, which happens at every class!  (However, if you only want to watch, there's no need to show up before 6:30.)

You can arrive late if you let me know in advance, and you can leave whenever you like.

"The Village at Ed Gould Plaza" - 1125 N. McCadden Place, Hollywood

One block East of Highland, just North of Santa Monica Blvd.
There are two parking lots across the street.  The larger one opens around 6:15.

We will be in room 209. Enter the courtyard, go into the building on the right and up the stairs.

There's nothing to prepare. Just show up and I'll give you sides to read, or you can bring anything you'd like to work on.

If you are coming to the workshop, I suggest that you read my free online book, "NEW THOUGHTS FOR ACTORS" at: http://www.jackplotnick.com/4.html 

Looking forward!
Jack
