Alec Baldwin to Teach Acting Class

Better polish up those apples kids!

This is one class you want to be on time for and do all your homework! I certainly wouldn't want to get on this teacher's bad side and get a phone call home...

Oh, and I may be wrong, but I don't think Alec Baldwin stars on Ugly Betty. I thought he was on 30 Rock...fact check anyone?

According to this article on Broadwayworld:

Alec Baldwin will again teach an acting class this summer at East Hampton's Ross School Summer Program. Baldwin will guide a select group of 20-22 actors with professional aspirations through an intensive one week professional acting class from August 6 - 10.

Prior to his four previous summer workshops at LIU/Southampton College and Ross School, Baldwin received numerous applications for this 30-hour workshop from across the country. The applicants, selected through an audition process, helped form an intimate and eclectic class which received the personal attention and advice of both Baldwin and his teaching partner, Michael Disher.

Baldwin, a Long Island native and resident of Amagansett, continues his passion for teaching by annually dedicating one week to the development and educational training of professionally motivated actors.

The workshop includes monologue and scene work, and in-depth script and character analysis. Thus far, 75 students have had this opportunity. All applications are personally reviewed by Mr. Baldwin with an eye toward those with a serious commitment to theatre.

Baldwin, who currently appears on the hit sitcom "Ugly Betty," recently appeared Off-Broadway in Entertaining Mr. Sloane. He received a Tony Award nomination for his work in the 1992 revival of A Streetcar Named Desire, and has also appeared on New York stages in Twentieth Century, Prelude to a Kiss, Loot and Serious Money. His many film credits include The Hunt for Red October, Glengarry Glen Ross, Pearl Harbor, The Aviator and The Cooler, for which he received an Oscar nod.

The deadline for completed applications is June 8, 2007. For applications and additional information, call Ross School at (631) 907-5117 or e-mail dsilverblank@ross.org
