Adult Acting (AA)

random image

Adults often ask about acting classes in the area and there are plenty of places to register for a series of classes, but sometimes adults recognize that their time (or funding) is limited and it can be difficult to commit to an entire series.  SCCT provides an alternative.

For interested adults (college age and up), we offer classes FOR FREE--no commitment required. A chance for beginners to seasoned actors to get together to learn about acting, auditioning, the rehearsal process, monologue preparation and really, whatever the student has questions about or an interest in.  It is taught by Betsy Bisson, SCCT's Artistic/Education Director, and she has 20 + years experience teaching acting.  In return, we will send out emails about volunteer opportunities here at SCCT—if you’re enjoying the class, we encourage you to help put up posters or stick labels or help with set construction or painting of our Mainstage shows.

We'll send out emails to confirm the next class time and we only ask that you reply if you're planning to come (otherwise Betsy ends up sitting here lonely wondering if anyone is coming).  Please click here to be added to the AA email group.  Betsy will reply with an email and give you her personal email address to add to your address book—she sends the email notices from that account to sometimes as many as 100 people and you'll need to have her in your address book so it won't land in your junk folder.  If you decide not to come to the class, please just reply to be asked to taken off the email group, please do not "block" her emails.

It has developed the name "AA" = Adult Acting (cause no one can give you grief for going to an AA meeting) and it typically occurs on Sundays from 5-6:15pm.  Class are held at SCCT Headquarters - 153 Augusta St, Greenville, SC 29601  Come to the side door (on the right side of the building) and knock loudly!
