Actors' Resource is a fee-based instructional workshop for adult (age 18 and up) and youth (age 12-17) actors.
Its goal is to educate, inspire and stimulate actors of all experience levels through classes which include instruction, exercises, theater games, on-stage performances and critique.


All Actors' Resource acting workshops are led by actor/director Ken Klingenmeier. We offer a variety of classes:
  
Beginning Class: for actors with little or no stage experience, 

Improvisation Workshop: for experienced actors who have some college training or appreciable community theater experience, or who have completed the Beginning Level.

Advanced Improvisation Workshop: for actors who have completed the Improvisation Workshop and who want to take the next step toward improv performance

 SceneWork Class: for experienced actors who have some college training or appreciable community theater experience, or who have completed the Beginning Level.

I am now offering the popular Acting Classes for Youth for ages 12-17 only. These classes are patterned after the classes I have for adult actors (see below).

 

Beginning Acting for Youth – Classes cost $100 for the 5 weekly classes (includes non-refundable $30 deposit).

      Classes will be held Mondays, June 2-30 4:30-6:30pm

 

All fees are payable at the first class. Classes  All classes will be held at CCP’s Studio 15, 15 First Ave NE in Carmel.

Note from Ken Klingenmeier:

Anyone who has ever wished that they could be on stage or who has been on stage and wished that they could find a well-suited place for learning more about acting and performance, will find that Actors' Resource can provide a creative outlet, away from the structure of a show, and bring you opportunities for learning, creating, and self-enrichment. For Actors' Resource, I am planning interesting, intensive, and active class sessions, which will be rewarding and fun.
