The Masterclass
a one of a kind acting masterclass taught by the great Nathan Bridgets!
Step into the world of THE MASTERCLASS, an immersive show that invites you into the legendary studio of the renowned Canadian actor, producer, director, theatre practitioner and author, Nathan Bridgets. Nathan will be teaching his one of a kind acting technique from his best selling novel "An Actor Does NOT Prepare" in a special masterclass. As you enter, you are transported to a realm where creativity knows no bounds and the art of performance is elevated to its pinnacle. The stage is set with mats arranged in a circle, inviting you to take a seat and become part of the intimate experience. You are not just a spectator here; you are a participant in the journey of discovering your own potential as an actor. Throughout the performance, you will be guided through exercises and improvisations, learning firsthand the principles that have shaped generations of actors. You may find yourself standing, moving, and exploring the space around you, encouraged to unleash your creativity in a supportive environment. The teacher's voice echoes through the room, offering insights and encouragement as scenes unfold around you. You will witness the transformation of performers, both on stage and among the audience, as they tap into their raw emotions and expressiveness. Audience participation is not just encouraged; it is essential to the experience. Through interactive moments and shared exercises, you gain a deeper understanding of the artistry behind acting. Whether you're a seasoned performer or exploring your talents for the first time, THE MASTERCLASS promises to ignite your passion for the craft. As the show concludes, you leave with newfound inspiration and a deeper appreciation for the craft of acting. You carry with you the teachings and memories of a truly immersive theatrical experience. We need to note that everything said and taught in the class is through the lens of the character. This is a satirical performance piece. If at any moment in the performance you no longer want to participate in the activities, you are welcomed to sit out. Stephanie, the assistant, is happy to help find a comfortable place for you to observe.

About A.C.T. Productions
The word change could evoke a sense of scepticism when you first read it. What change are we talking about here? What more can we change? A lot. The purpose of this theatre company is more than what you will see on stage but also what happens behind the curtains. Many of us focus so much on what happens on stage (as patrons and as artists) but so much creativity, innovation and talent happens when the lights aren’t on. We measure the success of a theatre company in many ways, a few can be; box office revenue, butts in seats and glowing reviews. But I will ask you one question…what did it take to get there? We all have gone through productions or heard stories from our friends that say “We’ve been pulling 12-hour days for too long, I’m exhausted” “I’m not getting a proper break” “That show burnt me out” Maybe we need to reevaluate what our perception of success means to us…
