Milwaukee Rep Resident Actors Laura Gordon and Gerard Neugent will guide participants through classes focusing on the work of classic American playwrights including Arthur Miller, Eugene O’Neill and Tennessee Williams. Afternoons will be spent applying acting techniques to scenes and monologues using material from the classic American playwrights.
