Catherine Stroud & Emma Stone!

Catherine gave Emma her first job on “The Suite Life” then cast her later in “The House Bunny”!

There are plenty of Hondas and Toyotas on the road, which are fine, but they’re general. Nobody notices. But when a bright red Lamborghini drives by thats when the heads turn. You need to be anything but general in the audition room. You need to be the Lamborghini.

Class Details:

Before the Class:

  • Scene options from Catherine will be sent prior to the event or you can choose one of your favorite Scenes to perform!

Online Webinar : 

  • Catherine will start with the same Intro talk with students as she would regularly in class- parents are welcome and encouraged to join the session for this part of class!

  • Catherine will work with each participant live through the webinar each actor will receive notes & Redirects on their work (This way actors are still getting real time re-direction and notes, as well as the other students are still able to watch and see the notes given!) this lets all students be involved and learn by watching each other.
