This is the work. How do we get out of our own way? How do we know our instrument well enough to know how to begin to do this? This is what the actor must discover. Act, read, watch, study, discover the craft of acting in any way you can. Commit. To the work. It’s worth it.

Recently an actor sent me this text:

Hey 👋🏼 I don’t mean to bother you if I am but I’ve been sort of arguing with myself about a question and I hope you could convince one side over the other.. do you think it would be worth it to apply for a drama school (like a university) and receive great training and go that route? Or just get what I can where I’m at right now.. save money and ultimately…

Love to all our millennials. We are amazed by your brilliance & light and your willingness to be vulnerable. We respect and are grateful for your acknowledgement of the value of creative independence.  Thank you for being our teachers.  Kathryn Keats 

If you want to work in showbiz… we are going to make sure you can. I am not here to coach you year, after year,  after year,  “preparing”  you to be an actor. I am here to collaborate with you and give you the chops to BE ONE and to send you out to experience your craft and to move forward in the industry. You’ll be back in the studio to work on scripts and to work on shows you’re in rehearsal…
