C1’s PDA program is designed to empower participants to be creative and collaborative, while developing their voice and building their skills. Like a skilled tradesperson, an actor needs to practice their craft, developing body, voice, and imagination.

This fall, we will continue to offer our PDA program online via Zoom. Classes will take place on Tuesday evenings from 6:30pm - 9:30pm ET, running September 14 - November 1, with dress rehearsals at a time to be determined on either November 7 or 8, and a public showcase on November 9.

Professional Development for Actors
– Develop skills in character development and script analysis with instructors Rosalind Thomas-Clark, Deen Rawlins-Harris, and Josh Glenn-Kayden.
– Hone your craft through in-depth work on several monologues and scenes, preparing you for auditions and the deep work of a potential role.
– Participants who have completed this class have been cast both here at C1 and at companies around the city, including American Repertory Theater, Actors’ Shakespeare Project, Commonwealth Shakespeare Company, Fresh Ink Theatre, Front Porch Arts Collective, Huntington Theatre Company, and Lyric Stage Company

**An audition for new students is required; returning students must re-apply but need not audition**
