News from The Actors Center
Welcome to our brand new blog, the best place to stay updated on all the great classes and events happening at The Actors Center!
It's been a very exciting week for us here in Old City. On Saturday, February 8th, three of New York's top talent agents came to The Actors Center to present a day-long workshop. 30 of our students had five minutes to perform a commercial for each agent and receive evaluations and constructive feedback. Everyone also got the chance to ask their pressing questions about working in this competitive and fast-paced industry. But best of all, the agents asked several of our kids to come up to New York City and see them again. What a dream come true!
If you missed this event, have no fear: The agents will be back next month for another stellar workshop, so be sure to reserve a spot as soon as possible. Tickets go fast (last time, we sold out in four days!). We'll keep you posted with all the details.Â
Speaking of talented students, we had local film directors and producers come check out our acting classes. And not only were they majorly impressed, but 17 of our students were chosen for films around the city.
This week was also one of transition, as Boni Wolf takes over for 23-year Actors Center founder and owner, Rodney Robb. Rodney is packing up for sunnier (less snowy) skies and moving out to L.A. He will be working with his son, R.D. at production and management company, Station 3 Entertainment. This industry vet has been instrumental in putting together our incredible program and fostering years of successful talent.
We will all miss Rodney very much. "These are big shoes to fill but I will carry on his legacy and make him proud," says Boni about her newfound position.
Looking ahead to next week, on Monday we will be filming our new kids variety TV show, "Sonic Pop Live!" What's a day off from school if you don't get to have a ton of fun?Â
And on Wednesday the 19th, you can find our table at Front House Philm Fest at World Cafe live where we'll be connecting with actors and filmmakers from all over the Philadelphia area.Â
As you can see, a little bit of winter weather isn't gonna stop us at The Actors Center. Make sure to check back every few days and stay updated on the incredible work we're doing.
