We closed out StoryAtlas 2016 with a four-week workshop on the topic of, “Overcoming Your Acting Weakness.” We had a remarkable group of actors!

We honor two actors every month. One is chosen based on the quality of the final performance (EXCELLENCE IN PERFORMANCE AWARD). The other is based on our observation of the actor’s growth and insight into the topic over the entire four-week class (BREAKTHROUGH AWARD).
