Scene Study, with Mary Coy
You want to stretch those acting muscles but don't have the time to commit to a full-length production!
You've always wanted to give acting a try but are afraid to audition?
You're looking for a fun way to exercise mind, body and spirit while meeting new people!
Scene study is a challenging and creative way to do all of the above. Each week you and a partner (to be chosen in class) will present a scene from a play of your choice - or the teacher's - to the rest of the class.
Through improv games, acting exercises and simple play, you will learn (or review) basic acting skills and learn a lot about yourself in the process.
Join us on Sunday evenings, 4 - 7pm starting March 2.
4 class minimum; $20.00/class/$80.00 session.
Financial aid available.
Please call 361-1999 for information and details.

dazzling, poetical...bitingly relevant....eminently hummable
Austin, Texas-based Danny Schmidt is an award-winning & versatile songwriter, his writing includes "heartbreaking love songs followed by biting philosophical commentary, plain-strummed ballads followed by virtuoso fingerpicking." (Orchard Distribution). His musical style draws from mountain barroom gospel and English balladry, syncopated Piedmont country blues with a dash of 60’s protest folk.
Austin may claim Danny Schmidt for its own, but his career as a performing & recording artist began in Charlottesville, with his first CD, Live from the Prism Coffeehouse, released in 1999. Schmidt returned to Charlottesville to record his fifth & latest album, Little Grey Sheep, produced by C'ville's Paul Curreri. Other Charlottesville musicians appearing on Little Grey Sheep are Randall Pharr on bass, Matty Metcalfe on accordion, Jeff Romano on harmonica, Sara Read on fiddle, Spencer Lathrop on drums and vocalist Joia Wood.
The songs included in Little Grey Sheep were written over a span of seven years. Says Schmidt: "Each has a very personal meaning for me, and each came from a very particular episode in my life ...whereas the songs I was putting on other records were more narrative and generalized and abstract."
Danny Schmidt will perform solo at the Hamner, his heartfelt realism guaranteeing an intense live performance, well-suited to this intimate venue. “It's honest, bare bones storytelling at it's best” (Tori Mazur, Music Beyond Radio).
"I've not felt a performance with this much intensity since I saw Neil Young solo years ago,... I was completely floored." (Henri Simmons, The Filter)
