The Young Performers
Group
The Maile School along with acting instructor and
talent manager Sheri Kebbel have
created a new program designed for the young working actor. We recognize the importance of providing a creative,
inspiring, and challenging environment for professional young actors to
continuously work on their craft!
The Young Performers Group (YPG) meets every Tuesday from 4:30-7:30
where they work on things such as Audition Scripts, Monologues, Scene Study,
Intense Character Process, Guest Industry Speakers and Teachers. Performers will take field trips through out
the area to
places such as SAK Comedy Theater, Shakespeare Theater, Production Sites,
The YPG started up in May of this year
and its founding members include: Travis Nin, Noah Schnacky,
Brady Reiter, Cree Ivy, Dorian Cantor, Aubrey Peeples,
Anthony Lamela, Austin Abramhs,
Partick Hoover, Sarah Sculco,
Harrison Boxley, Ophelia Boxley,
Michael Furbush and McKenzie Vanderberg.
The requirements to audition for this
elite group include completion of Sheri’s Advanced Level 2 Acting and actors
must be represented by an agent. At your
audition you will need to prepare a monologue, complete a cold read and an on
camera interview. If you are interested
in joining YPG the next audition will be held on Friday September 5th between
4pm to 7pm. Please call Jennifer Wisner to set up a private audition time.
Pictured above is YPG with actors Arnie Pantoja and Andrew
Matthews. Arnie starred in the feature films
"Sydney White and the Seven Dorks" as the dopey George; "Nat'l
Lampoon presents Robodoc" as Dr. Keefe; and in
the soon to be released "Hamlet 2".
Andrew Matthews has a starring role in the Sundance Film entry
"Print".
Star Talent!
