Lance Nichols
Veteran actor/teacher Lance E. Nichols will be offering an intensive 6 week "Scene Study Workshop" at the La Nuit
Theatre in Uptown New Orleans beginning Tuesday May 13.  Mr. Nichols is an award winning actor with over 30 years
of professional experience in film, television and theatre.  His TV credits include "Desparate Housewives," "Everybody
Loves Raymond," "ER," "The Shield," "NYPD Blue," "Charmed," "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer," "The Steve Harvey
Show," "Mad About You," "Martin," "Third Rock From The Sun," and more.  Among his film credits are "K-PAX" with
Jeff Bridges and Kevin Spacey and the soon to be released "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" with Brad Pitt and
Cate Blanchett.  Mr. Nichols theatre credits are numerous, having performed in theatres across the U.S. and in
Canada.

This workshop will focus on breaking down a scene, identifying objectives, playing intentions, and staying connected
with your scene partner.  You will be required to do some "out of class" homework, so your total commitment to all 6
sessions is mandatory.

Classes will be held on Tuesdays May 13, 20, 27 and June 3, 10, 17 from 6:00pm-10:00pm.  Limited to 16 students.  
To R.S.V.P. call 1-888-698-0201 and leave your name and contact number or email to lnichol619@earthlink.net.

Workshop fee:$375

A deposit of $200 is needed by May 6 to hold a spot in class.  Balance due at first class meeting.

In each class different emotions and passions such as love, joy,  
anger, and grief will be studied using selected exercises, which will  
then be put into scenes and monologues chosen by you and by your  
teacher.  This course benefits your auditions, too, since you will  
feel confident to pull out all the stops when a role calls for high
drama.

Covington/Mandeville starts next Tuesday, May 8, 6:30 p.m.
Metairie starts Monday, May 21, 6:30 p.m.
Denham Springs starts Thursday, May 31, 7 p.m.

For more information or to register for upcoming classes, contact  
Veleka Gray at (504) 812-3379 or e-mail actorsalliance@earthlink.net  
to inquire about location and other details for these series.

A weekend workshop featuring these techniques and other craft skills  
is being planned for Shreveport in the near future.

A weekly workshop is also being considered for young actors in
Metairie.
