Will You Be My Nemesis?
a Celestial STUDIO Lab Production
Join our Theatre Education Workshop: Celestial STUDIO (formerly Rich STUDIO)
STUDIO Lab Productions are enrollment-based educational theatre programs.
It’s not just a production, its theatre education in an environment that values personal worth as much as production values.
Each Lab Production is a class first, with an original, curated curriculum (Educational Intensive) to meet the needs of the project.
Educational Intensive
Each Lab Production begins with an Educational Intensive in which select Touchstone Topics™ are explored.
Touchstone Topic™
Serving as the spine of our theatrical process, participants spend the first few weeks of each Intensive in class instruction (theatre education), during which they learn techniques and concepts that serve as keystone markers to their artistic journey.
Production (Applied Education)
After the instruction period, all participants will audition for and be cast in the production.
Actors can expect:
Guidance in concept application
Actor coaching
Assigned required ACTOR’S HOMEWORK to aid in their artistic development.
Join us as we study & apply the following concepts to Will You Be My Nemesis?:
Farcical Comedy (with subtopics)
Creating Specificity within a Physical Character
Healthful Vocal Affectation
Improv
Comedic Timing
Playing a “Trunk Show” with potential multiple characters

While private actor coaching ranges from $60-75 per hour - This full-featured performance experience includes over 100 hours of training and rehearsal (valued at over $6,000) which we are pleased to offer for just $650.
We are excited to expand our performance season with Will You Be My Nemesis? As an educational theatre company, our passion is to provide uniquely targeted instruction and coaching.
In a Celestial Theatre production, actors don’t just learn the show…they learn technique that lasts a lifetime.
