Ooh, what fun we’ll have! Week one we’ll do some acting games and introduce you to the script. Week two we’ll cast your part (non-speaking roles available for those who want to join in but are feelin’ shy!). Every week after that we’ll work on our indie film! At the end of the course, we’ll have a movie premiere RED CARPET EVENT!
$25 per class, 12-week course that will repeat with new plays and films if you want to sign up again and again and again! Each session is approximately 90 minutes of coaching, acting, and rehearsal. Your class fee covers all indie film expenses and the Red Carpet event is free for your family and friends to attend! (Limited seating)
You will need: potentially a costume, depending on your part and if we don’t have something you can wear from the Natalie’s Gathering Place wardrobe. We do not expect you to spend a lot of money on a costume; thrift store purchases are fine, and we might be able to rustle up something for you even if we don’t currently have it on hand.
TIPS: While no prior acting experience is required, and no one is pressured to perform in any way that is uncomfortable, you will get much more out of the class if you are willing to try new things, allow yourself to feel nervous or socially awkward, and push yourself to perform under pressure. So, please do be brave! We can help you with your lines, including putting them on a monitor if needed. Remember, we will be doing an indie film where “retakes” and editing is possible! Don’t fear mistakes. Enjoy the journey!
Live acting opportunities beyond the indie film will come up from time to time. Those who want to participate and have attended the majority of the classes they registered for are welcome to join us.
Class types allowed: Adult (teens by request), Family (at least one adult participating and all children must be age 5 or older), Child/Youth or Private Group (must have at least 10 people in your group to qualify).
Note: We do not provide childcare. For the safety and courtesy of the other participants please do not bring young children with you to this class (we do have other classes that include children). Thank you for your understanding.
Register today! We have a 2-step process for registration:
1. Provide us with your contact info and your preferred class days/times. You will be asked your preference in general, in the drop-down part of the registration form that gives you morning/afternoon/evening as choices, but if you have specific preferences (or have days/times that will NOT work for you), you can tell us about your schedule conflicts and open days in the box on the form that asks if you have any questions or concerns. Alternatively, you can simply e-mail us directly with your requests: contact@nataliesgatheringplace.com, call us at (912) 210-2888, or drop by Natalie’s Gathering Place in person and set something up at the reception desk.
2. We’ll contact you with a proposed day/time for your class to meet, after matching you with others who have the same scheduling preference as you. If you have requested a Private Group, we don’t need to match you with others, so you’ll hear from us quickly with a weekly day/time for you to meet. There is no extra charge for a private group, but you must have at least 10 people in your group to qualify.
Your registration won’t be confirmed until you’re happy with the day/time offered to you. No deposit necessary. No cancellation fees, only a good faith effort to honor your commitment to attend. You may pay-as-you-go, or pre-pay for your group or individual registration. Don’t forget, members get a 10% discount on classes, so do mention your GOLD, Silver, or Bronze membership when you pay.
We look forward to acting with you at Natalie’s Gathering Place!
