American Conservatory Theatre Announces Showcases for Class of 2011

By:

The students in the American Conservatory Theater (A.C.T.) Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) Program class of 2011 will launch their careers as professional actors with the M.F.A. Program Class of 2011 Showcase, presented in association with the Brown/Trinity Rep M.F.A. Acting & Directing Program. This spring, after completing three years of intensive actor training at A.C.T., the M.F.A. Program class of 2011 will graduate from the conservatory. The culmination of their studies at A.C.T. is a showcase production presented to professional theater and film directors, agents, and casting directors in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. The showcase provides students with their first opportunity to exhibit their talents to industry professionals and to meet with agents and casting directors to discuss potential career opportunities. These invitation-only events will take place at these locations on the following dates:
 
New York City: Monday, March 28, 2011
New World Stages (340 W. 50th Street, New York, NY  10019)
 
Los Angeles: Monday, April 4, 2011
The Falcon Theater (4252 W. Riverside Drive, Burbank, CA  91505)
 
San Francisco: Wednesday, April 20, 2011
Zeum Theater (221 Fourth Street, San Francisco, CA  94103)
 
While A.C.T. is able to provide some support for showcase expenses, students rely on the generosity of friends, family members, and colleagues to help with the remaining costs. Each gift made to A.C.T. for the benefit of the M.F.A. Program Showcase, no matter what the amount, will directly support this important career opportunity for the class of 2011 as they launch their acting careers. For more information about the showcase, to peruse headshots and resumes for the class of 2011, and to donate, please visit www.act-sf.org/showcase.
