Acting Class: Take a Seat by Milton Katselas was previously available only to his students at the Beverly Hills Playhouse acting school (http://www.bhplayhouse.com) in Los Angeles. It was originally a ring-bound course book containing concepts and methods that helped a generation of actors flourish on the stage and screen. Now for the first time, this all-encompassing book is available to the general public, inviting readers to enroll in the legendary top acting class. The no-nonsense Katselas covers not only techniques and methods but also includes valuable discussions on the attitude any artist needs to fulfill his or her dream.

Katselas' Acting Class takes the reader inside the legendary classes he has taught for over forty years. You will feel as if you have taken a seat in the theatre, as much of its material is adapted directly from actual critiques of professional actors in the classes.


Acting Class covers in detail the three areas central to the Katselas approach: Acting, Attitude and Administration. The uniqueness and universality of Katselas' teaching comes from this three-pronged attack, which not only addresses the craft of acting, but also the proper attitude with which the actor should pursue his or her work, as well as an extensive section on the proper viewpoint towards career administration. While it is a book written for actors, Acting Class makes great reading for any artist, as many of the chapters take the form of transcribed conversations between Milton and actual students from the classes, covering life lessons that encompass not only acting, but the proper attitude with which to carry out any endeavor, and the specific choices anyone can make to make their career move in the direction they want.


Down-to-earth, accessible, funny, and conversational, Acting Class is the culmination of 40 years of teaching that has helped thousands of actors achieve both the art and the careers they've had in their dreams.
