Performers' Workshop Cabaret Series Now Enrolling

Hi!
Joshua Finkel here. I am the creator and director of the ANMT Perfomers' Workshop. The next round of classes will be starting up soon, featuring the annual Performers' Workshop Cabaret event at the M Bar in Hollywood. This performance is the culmination of the winter session Level 1 class entitled GETTING YOUR ACT TOGETHER which concentrates on Cabaret and Specialty Material Performance Technique.

I hope you'll have a look at the video below, which is from my introduction to last year's M Bar event.

Auditions for the next round of sessions for adults and teens will take place on November 2, 2008 from 2-6pm.

In this video blog, Matt makes a couple of announcements and then freezes with a funny look on his face.

Also, Matt would like it to be known that he does indeed understand the irony of posting a video called "I Quit" the day his job ends.

I QUIT - a sneak preview!

A Broadway Dream Come True for [title of show]

Cate Caplin (who directed the recent reading of Now and Then a Hero) writes from New York:

Last night I sat front row for the opening night of a brand new Broadway musical called [title of show] - It was a show within a show about two unknown writers, writing a new musical for the NY Musical Theatre festival, pursuing their dream to Broadway - it was their literal story and journey about writing a new musical unfolding within the context of the show - very exhilarating to see a real life dream being realized in real time on stage up to the final moment of the piece and there they were, opening ON Broadway for real.

The audience (no doubt diehard friends and fans throught the entire journey of this new piece thru its developmental stages to its off-Broadway run, workshop productions and subsequent road to Broadway) was electrifying.... It was definitely an inspiration to see it happen for others, the very thing we ALL dream about happening... I ran into the producer who I know from other relations years ago and he invited me to the opening night party.

So many icons of Broadway were there, the toast of the town Broadway directors and choreographers, Tony Award winning actors and famous designers, composers, writers - a sea of artistic legends.... I thought of you all and wanted to share my random NY "ride"....
