This eight week class is for both seasoned and actor wannabes and for those folks who are interested in the intricacies of film directing, film and music editing, and live theatre directing. Participants will be shown films, read and act out plays, and develop rehearsal techniques. 

Join Alvin Ross to discuss the Big Band Era of the 30's and 40's with emphasis on the war years.  This program will feature music from Glen Miller, Jimmy Dorsey, Benny Goodman and more.  Participants will also discover the music of Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller, Carole King, Gerry Goffin, Burt Bacharach, and Hal David.  Music and videos of each featured musician will be shown in class.

Join Alvin Ross as he shares his experience of a fifty year period of travels with country superstars. Some of these artists include: Glen Campbell, Merle Haggard, Roy Clark, among a few others. Hear stories about these great adventures in Nashville and listen to some of the music from these great artists.

This course will explore musicians who overcame obstacles to succeed in their field. These obstacles include physical limitations, racial discrimination, and religious persecution. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the lives of inspirational musicians like Bedrich Smetana, Ralph Vaughn Williams, and Gabriel Faure, who composed musical masterpieces even after losing their hearing; Scott Joplin, William Grant Still, and Wynton Marsalis, who succeeded despite racial barriers of their time; and Ernest Bloch and numerous Jewish composers whose music was silenced with the rise of Nazism.

Employing improvisational and scripted dramatic acting projects, as well as videos of great plays and musicals,"Life Upon the Wicked Stage" is designed to enrich the student's appreciation of the power and positive energy of theatrical performance.

"Life Upon the Wicked Stage" achieves its instructional goals of theatrical appreciation through watching and discussing a series of plays on video, that have a common thread. i.e. "School Days" -Three plays employing a school environment and setting in creating a dramatic narrative. 1. "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie", 2. "Oleanna", and 3. "Doubt."

The performance component of the course will include a series of theatrical improvisations and exercises designed to get to student comfortable and confident with stage performance. We will also read aloud a contemporary in a reader's theater format. No one will be forced to participate or be made feel uncomfortable in any performance activity.

Understanding the intent of every aspect of a movie- from lighting to language, color to characters, stars to scores- can help you not only appreciate the movies you're watching at a much more profound level but also open your eyes to the multitude of ways you're being manipulated from the moment you sit down in the theater. A great filmmaker controls every sensation the movie evokes- tremors or tears, goosebumps or giggles. And while this may feel orchestrated when you begin to pull back the curtain and discover the secrets behind making great movies, you'll also learn why we invite and welcome that manipulation.

Join professional filmmaker, author, and award-winning professor, Eric R. Williams, as he takes you behind the scenes with How to View and Appreciate Great Movies, sharing the concepts that he has developed as a professional filmmaker over the last 25 years. As he walks you through 250 different titles, some well-known, others less so, you'll explore how every step of a movie is a choice and each choice has a significant impact on consciously and subconsciously influencing the audience.

This course will explore visionary Americans who created masterworks in art and music during the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the lives of pioneering figures that helped shape our country's musical landscape, as well as look at examples of their art and listen to recordings or their music.

Recall the memory of the films and television shows, from the silent era on, made by Hollywood studios. Many of these movies and shows have been forgotten, some have become classics, and a few have been immortalized. Clips are shown from films and television series, participants will discuss the background on the making of these productions and how they reflected the times in which they were produced.
