Theatre--Master Class/Workshop
Master Acting Workshop July 27-31, 2009
Taught by Caroline McGee in Lafayette, Louisiana
Lee Strasberg: “The Method is simply what all actors have done when acting well.”
The Workshop will be 3 hours’ long per day and conducted for five days at ULL, Monday-Friday July 27-31, 2009, time of day TBA. Cost is $500 total for the week-long session with a limited number of partial scholarships available.
Workshop to include:
• Warm up exercises
• Focus and concentration
• Imagination and creative games
• Creating atmosphere on stage
• Emotional memory and emotional awareness
• Partner interaction
• Stage improvisation
Based on Lee Strasberg’s legendary Method technique of actor training, this class will mirror the famed Strasberg program for young actors in New York City, where Caroline served as Director for both their Professional and New York University BFA Acting Programs from 2006-2009. (www.strasbergny.com for more info)
From Angelina Jolie, Adam Sandler and James Dean to Marilyn Monroe, Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro, the great actors have studied and applied Strasberg’s exercises to invoke a sense of truth and an original interpretation devoid of clichéd and dull expression. Beyond specific actor training, the Method inspires the personal growth of each student in developing self-discipline, concentration and creativity.
Caroline is looking for imaginative, curious and committed students. Beginning to advanced levels are encouraged to apply since the exercises are individually oriented. Enrollment is limited; apply asap to guarantee a place.

Theatre--Auditions (IPAL)
IPAL is holding auditions for Moon Over Buffalo on Monday, June 22 and Tuesday, June 23rd at 6 pm at the Essanee Theatre in New Iberia. There are a number of characters in the show; character descriptions are below:
GEORGE HAY--Egotistical head of the theater company, in his 50's, quite the ham, with a tendency to drown his sorrows when the going gets a bit bumpy. He is husband to Charlotte, father to Rosalind, and son-in-law to Ethel. He has had an illicit relationship with Eileen that has borne unexpected fruit.
CHARLOTTE HAY--Ambitious, flamboyant actress, who feels she never quite made it to the top tier of her profession, though she feels she deserved that. In her 50's, she is wife to George, mother to Rosalind, and daughter to Ethel. She is admired by Richard, who would love to steal her away from George. She is flattered by the attention, but is loyal to George - at least until she learns about Eileen.
ETHEL--In her 70's, actress and wardrobe mistress for the theater company. Hard of hearing, but sharp of tongue, she is mother to Charlotte, grandmother to Rosalind, and (most pointedly of all) mother-in-law to George. She has some of the funniest lines in the play.
ROSALIND (or ROZ--Bright and attractive, in her 20's or 30's, she is daughter to George and Charlotte and granddaughter to Ethel. A former actress in the company, she now yearns to leave that life behind and lead a "normal" life with her newfound love, Howard. She and Paul used to be an item.
HOWARD--Late 20's, very good-natured and quite good-looking. He is Rosalind's fiance and terribly nervous about meeting his future in-laws. In awe of show business, he likes to think he is part of that profession - even though he is only a TV weatherman.
EILEEN--Young and very beautiful, she is the current ingenue of the theater company. Enamored with George, she has had a brief fling with him that has produced (forgive the euphemism) a plot complication.
PAUL--In his 30's, good-looking in a rough-and-ready sort of way, and very likeable. He is Company Manager for the theater group, as well as one of the actors. He used to date Rosalind, but she ditched him because he refused to give up the theater.
RICHARD--Good-looking, quite lovable, 50's, dresses in a conservative suit and tie. He is the Hays' lawyer and represents every major star in Hollywood. He is constantly making a play for Charlotte.

Theatre--Master Class/Workshop
Caroline McGee, an alumna of ULL, will be offering a July 2009 workshop based on Lee Strasberg's legendary Method technique of actor training. This class will mirror the famed Strasberg program for young actors in New York City, where she served as Director for both their Professional and New York University BFA Acting Programs from 2006-2009.
Caroline McGee
From Angelina Jolie, Adam Sandler and James Dean to Marilyn Monroe, Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro, the great actors have studied and applied Strasberg's exercises to invoke a sense of truth and an original interpretation devoid of cliche and dull expression.
Beyond specific actor training, the Method inspires the personal growth of each student in developing self-discipline, concentration and creativity. Caroline is looking for imaginative, curious and committed students. Beginning to advanced levels are encouraged to apply since the exercises are individually oriented. Ages 13 and older are considered; an interview and application are required. Enrollment is limited. Classes will be held at ULL from July 27-31, 3 hours per day, times TBA.
In March 2009, McGee was promoted to the position of Director of the Professional Program at New York University's Stonestreet Studio which specializes in Acting for Film & TV for the Tisch School of the Arts Undergraduate Drama and professional students.
Current projects at Stonestreet Studios include a workshop with the graduates of the famed Moscow Art Theatre Training Program, where modern actor training techniques by Stanislavski originated in concert with the plays of Anton Chekhov; a film series in collaboration with The Anne Frank Foundation's Independent Thinkers Series; and work on the new play by Edward Albee Fellow, Lindsey Ferrentino.
She offers a noted career in teaching, managing and administering professional and MFA and BFA acting programs, including the MFA Acting Program at The Catholic University of America, in Washington, DC, as Director and Associate Professor from 1997-2004.
Her training includes a Master's Degree from the University of California at Berkeley in Directing, Theatre History, Literature & Criticism; actor training with Robert Lewis at The Yale School of Drama; a 2-year acting certificate at the Conservatoire Nationale in Strasbourg, France, on a CODOFIL scholarship. She studied acting professionally in New York City with master teachers William Esper, Michael Howard, Stella Adler, Wynn Handman and Elaine Aiken(the Strasberg Method). She has performed at Yale Repertory Theater, Williamstown Theater Festival, NY Shakespeare Festival, Opera Theatre of St. Louis, and in films by Woody Allen and Norman Jewison, with Gregory Peck, Gina Rowland and Gregory Peck, among many others. She is a member of all three actor unions, Actors Equity Association, Screen Actors Guild, and AFTRA.
Caroline's work in the theatre encompasses directing, having toured original pieces nationally and internationally. She performed her one-woman piece, Lache pas la Patate, at ULL's Bijou Theatre for the 300th Anniversary of the French in Louisiana. Woman Bomb/Sade, her latest play, written with Allan Graubard, was recently featured in the HotInk International Play Festival in New York City. It explores the world of female suicide bombers questioning the reasons women follow such a violent path of self- destruction.
A still from McGee's production of Leonce and Lena
Caroline's parents are Sylvia and Dean McGee, farmers in the Richard area; 4 siblings, folklorist and local historian Dr. Donna McGee Onebane, Advantage Wealth Manager Gary McGee, Liz McGee Smith, mother of six, and Joseph McGee, a medical courier, all of Lafayette.

The Acadia Players are presenting Steel Magnolias starting tonight and running through the weekend.
The action is set in Truvy's beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are "anybody" come to have their hair done. Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle (who is not sure whether or not she is still married), the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town's rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, ("I'm not crazy, I've just been in a bad mood for forty years"); an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee, who has a raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader, M'Lynn, whose daughter, Shelby (the prettiest girl in town), is about to marry a "good ole boy." Filled with hilarious repartee and not a few acerbic buy humorously revealing verbal collision, the play moves toward tragedy when, in the second act, the spunky Shelby (who is a diabetic) risks pregnancy and forfeits her life. The sudden realization of their mortality affects the others, but also draws on the underlying strength -and love- which gives the play, an its characters, the special quality to make them truly touching, funny and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad.
Shows are at the Crowley Rice Theatre. The Friday and Saturday night performances will begin at 7 pm and the Sunday show is a matinee starting at 2 pm. Tickets are available at the Crowley Flower Shop, at the door or online from the website.
