Greetings!
Wow. There is so much happening!

We are excited that 13 year old Paris Berelc has landed a LEAD ROLE as a Super Hero in a new DISNEY Show!  She even has a fan page!

We are offering FOUR Different Summer Acting Camps this Summer.  They will give young actors a very well rounded approach to acting.  Plus they are FUN!

Actor's Craft is producing it's first play, London Suite by Neil Simon.  We have finalized the cast and the play runs May 31-June 9th.

Also, May 11th is Second Saturday and Actor's Craft is offering a FREE Audition Critique.  If you ever wonder WHY you are not landing the roles, this is an opportunity to discover areas you can improve upon for your auditions.
Paris Berelc lands role as Superhero Skylar Storm for Disney
Paris Berelc first came to Actor's Craft when she had an important audition for Diary of a Wimpy Kid.  Her mother had been taking her to a different coach in Chicago, but she was unable to schedule a last- minute appointment.

Paris is a great student and she picked up on some tried-and-true Actor's Craft audition techniques very quickly and was able to incorporate them into her audition. 

Her mother Maria called me on the phone after the audition and told me that Paris' agent at Lily's Talent said her new acting coach had found just what Paris had been missing in her auditions.  She told her not to worry about coming down to Chicago for coaching, to stick with the Acting Coach from Kenosha.

Paris continued to come to Actor's Craft for private coaching sessions for important auditions.  Now, she has found success in Hollywood.  She landed a lead role in Disney's new new series Mighty Med co-staring Bradley Steven Perry and Jake Short.  Here is a Disney Channel fan page introducing Paris!

Below, you can see younger Paris in a promotional video showing samples of the work we do at Actor's Craft.

Unleash your creativity and self-expression!  Viola Spolin is considered the Grandmother of Improvisation.  We use the techniques developed by Spolin to help create better actors by getting them out of their head and into their instrument, thinking on their feet and learning to trust their instincts.  Directors love actors who are comfortable with improvisation!

Buy Tickets for London Suite!
America's premier comic playwright crosses the Atlantic for a suite of hilarious comedies set in a deluxe London hotel a sedate place until these characters check in.

In Settling Accounts, the suite is occupied by an inebriated Welsh writer who is holding his long time business manager, caught absconding with the writer's money, at gun point. The villian concocts increasingly farfetched explanations of what he was doing at Heathrow with the cash.

An American widow and her daughter, in England to buy shoes, take over the suite in Going Home. At the daughter's insistence, mother spends her last evening in London with a rich Scotsman.

The hotel guests in The Man on the Floor are a married couple from New York who have lost their tickets to Wimbledon and are about to lose their suite to Kevin Costner who absolutely must have it now.

The evening ends on a funny, bittersweet note with Diana and Sidney, another chapter in the lives of two characters from California Suite. Diana, the Oscar-winning actress, and Sidney, her bisexual husband, are now divorced and are seeing each other for the first time in years. He needs money for his lover who is dying of cancer. The money is not a problem for Diana, but the realization that she still loves him is.
