And welcome to the inaugural
Completely Ridiculous Online Summer Conservatory:
Five weeks of comprehensive actor training with a particular focus on physical acting,
play, and the creation of actor generated work,
Starting June 29th.
This July, a diverse group of 12 Completely Ridiculous students will have the opportunity to engage in high level & high quality conservatory training, all from the comfort of home. Our faculty members hold advanced degrees and certificates from the most prestigious conservatories in the world, and currently teach at some of the most competitive actor training programs in the country. Unique to this program, each faculty member has both extensive training in their individual discipline of actor training, and also a strong foundation in the world of clowning, play, and physical acting.
Our training includes Voice, Movement, Alexander Technique, Games & Play, Ensemble Building, Actor Generated Work, Shakespeare, Scene Study, On-Camera Technique, plus Master Classes with Industry Professionals and Master Acting Teachers. We have thoughtfully built the curriculum to support holistic and integrated learning. All the classes support and enrich one another, while finding common ground in the physical acting world.
Classes will be held Monday through Friday from 10-1pm EST. Wednesdays will be the exception, as classes and one-on-one tutorials will be held in the afternoons, and masterclasses will be held in the evenings. This leaves our students six afternoons each week to get outside and off of the computer!
At the end of the 5 weeks students will walk away with material for their reel; solo and ensemble material to keep developing and/or begin to perform; recordings of their scene and monologue work for further study; a deeper understanding of who they are as unique, individual artists and what they bring to an ensemble; and a whole new set of skills to apply to their career and/or ongoing education.

Pricing & Scholarships
Completely Ridiculous times call for Completely Ridiculous Prices! So, we are offering the entire program
- 5 weeks, nearly 83 hours of studio time, plus 5 evening master classes –
for only $550!
However, in light of the recent events in our world, we have been confronted with the question:
How can we actually help?
Inaction is no longer an option, and holding our summer program as planned, without recognition of the revolution that is happening in our country, feels as if it would be in the spirit of regression, rather than progress.
So, in the spirit of equality, justice, inclusivity and accessibility we are offering,
A full diversity scholarship, a work-study scholarship,
and other partial scholarships based on need.
In addition, 10% of each paying participants tuition will be donated to an organization working towards racial justice and systemic change in America.
To play and make art have always been inherent acts of revolution.
As actors and artists, we are trained to tune into our own feelings, connect with others, see and be seen, open our hearts, lean into our wonder, listen, and use our voices to speak the truth. The theatre is a place of action and of justice, and theatre makers will always be agents of change.
We hope you will join us this summer.
We plan to have fun, we plan to find power in our vulnerability, we plan to strengthen our voices,
and we plan to join the revolution.
