Mitch and Murray Productions  is proud to present  ACTING ATYPICAL, a foundational exploration of acting for teens and adults on the autism spectrum. The exciting program was created by our artistic director Aaron Craven and he hosts the class throughout the season, with guest coaches from our company also teaching periodically.

In this workshop, participants explore the world of acting. In a supportive and sensory-friendly environment, Aaron guides students through an introductory look at acting, the differences between acting on camera and stage, and much more. The class includes some fun and interactive improv work, some scripted work in front of the camera and a spirited conversation about the wonderful world of performing.

The goal for the workshop is for participants to benefit from the social and emotional tools which acting can provide, to learn a bit about the craft and bottom line, to have fun!

Our next workshops are now scheduled:

TEEN WORKSHOP Wednesday May 7th, 4:00pm-6:00pm.
ADULT WORKSHOP Wednesday May 7th, 6:30-9:00pm.

What people are saying –

“I enjoyed the class because of the careful pacing and because other atypicals were involved, which made me feel like less of an outcast. I had a lot of fun, I’d go back in a heartbeat.”

“Aaron Craven was an amazing teacher and very patient with us.”

“I liked the exercises, redirection and advice that Aaron gave us. It was also a small group, which was nice. I prefer classes like this.”

“My son attended the Acting Atypical workshop and it was amazing. I have never picked him up from anything and seen him so happy.”
