Online Teaching Statement from Jessica Hecht: “My deepest interest in teaching acting is to figure out how the language works before we start ‘acting.’ So, teaching in an online format is a bit of a dream come true. Our focus will be on script analysis, all text based. Rather than gearing this class toward putting up a scene, I will assign scenes for you to work on, but from the perspective of having rehearsal the next day for a workshop or reading.”
Scenes for Jessica Hecht’s class may be drawn from the following playwrights: Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams, Sarah Ruhl, Annie Baker and Neil Simon.
