An Invitation from Jackson Community College

Join us for Theatrical Workshop on Friday, October 17 at 12:30pm in the Potter Center’s Federer Rooms B & C (located on the first floor). This is a great opportunity for your students to learn about pursuing a career in theatre, film and television from cast members of the professional radio theatre company, LA Theatre Works.

This FREE workshop is an exciting event designed to share with actors, both student and professional, some of the techniques that are invaluable in pursuing these careers. The workshop will be taught by one or more members of the L.A. Theatre Works company - professionals with impressive resumes and plenty of audition war stories. They will cover topics such as getting rid of audition fears, selection of material, how to prepare for an audition with dress and manner, and the audition / callback process itself. There will be active demonstrations of ways to deal with audition anxieties, etiquette with casting directors and directors, and many other related topics.

That evening, join us again for a special back-to-back double bill of chills, thrills and great literature as LA Theatre Works presents two masterpieces of science fiction and adventure: War of the Worlds and The Lost World. This production is scheduled for 8:00pm in the Sheffer Music Hall. Attached are a synopsis of the show and a description of the company performing the show. Below is a list of the actors who will be performing the show:

Jerry Hardin (X-Files), a veteran of dozens of films and television programs and fine stage actor Kenneth Alan Williams will be joining television star Kyle Colerider-Krugh (ER, Third Rock From the Sun and Seinfeld) and Josh Clark (Heroes, Star Trek Voyager, E.R. and LA Law), previously announced. Rounding out the cast will be Jen Dede (E.R., Gilmore Girls) and Peter McDonald (Becker, Wings, E.R. as well as many starring roles on stage in Los Angeles).

Star Trek alum John de Lancie is directing this fine cast and is available for interviews along with the actors.

We are offering discounted tickets to students (50% of ticket price of $29, $26 or $22). For tickets to the evening's performance, please contact the Potter Center Ticket Office at 796-8600.
