Theatre--Performance

Caroline McGee's Master Class will present The Cajun Chekhov, a collection of monologues taken from the works of Anton Chekhov, on Sunday, January 3rd, at 5 pm at Cite Des Arts.  The production will last approximately one hour and admission is free of charge.

The students, many of whom who began their work on these monologues during the November session of the Master Class, have been studying "Method" acting, originally developed by Lee Strasberg.  Ms. McGee, currently director of the Moscow Art Actor Training Program at The Baryshnikov Center in New York City, has also served as the director of the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute, and the MFA Acting Program at The Catholic University of America, in Washington, DC.

 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, and a 2-year acting certificate at the Conservatoire Nationale in Strasbourg, France.  She has studied professionally in New York City with master teachers William Esper, Michael Howard, Stella Adler, Wynn Handman and Elaine Aiken/Lee Strasberg .
