The Executive Board Honed it's Acting & Audition Skills at the October Board Meeting

After dealing with our regular Board business at the October Board meeting, UFT Players Executive Board members got a chance to work with the inimitable Elizabeth Browning of the Elizabeth Browning Studio. Elizabeth shared with us some techniques that she uses with her professional acting clients to help them prepare for auditions and performances. At her midtown studio, working with actors at all levels, Elizabeth teaches acting classes and does private coaching.
