Westchester Collaborative Theater (WCT) is accepting applications now for the summer semester of Scene and Monologue Study.

Scene and Monologue Study, a deeper study of the craft of acting designed for intermediate and advanced actors, is taught by actor and director Bob Rogerson. Rogerson, who holds a master’s degree in classical acting, has taught at university and professional levels for many years. His popular classes offer tailored individuated instruction, addressing specific issues based on each actor’s strengths and needs. He uses an eclectic mix of teaching methods drawing from Stanislavski, Meisner, and Strasberg as well as voice and ear training and movement. 

 “It’s never ‘one-size fits all.’ The goal is to identify and apply appropriate choices grounded in the text and to lead the actor to create a connection,” says Rogerson.

 Classes meet Mondays for eight weeks, (July 15th excepted) June 10 - August 5, from 7:00-10:30 pm. www.wctheater.org/classes

Andrea Aboulafia who took Bob’s class for the last 2 sessions, says: “Through Bob's teaching I feel that not only has my acting improved and become more well-rounded, but the depth and knowledge of what it means to be an actor has increased as well. 

The Westchester Collaborative Theater is a multicultural, cooperative theater company located in Ossining, NY, dedicated to developing new work for the stage and bringing live theater to the community.
