Playing the Truth: A Two-Day Acting Intensive Workshop
Day One: Saturday, September 19, 2026: 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
Day Two: Sunday, September 20, 2026: 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
Fee: $250 (covers both days)
What You Will Learn
This intensive workshop is designed to bridge the gap between the written script and a living, breathing performance. We will focus on stepping out of the head and into the reality of the scene. Over the course of two days, actors will actively drill and master physical truth, deep subtext, and conversational reality, stripping away artificial habits so the final performance loses the “acting” and sounds completely natural and grounded.
Meet Your Coach - Buddy Brennan
Buddy brings four decades of major film, television, and live theatre experience to this intensive. As a full-time performance coach, operating under Leprachaun Coaching, Inc, his goal is to provide actors with practical, battle-tested tools. His unwavering coaching philosophy focuses entirely on directing the behavior rather than the person, creating a safe, high-energy environment where actors can take bold risks and leave with their pride and confidence intact.
