We are now accepting applications for the 2025 O’Neill Studio Free Labs to be led by Playwrights Theater artistic director Stephen Kennedy Murphy (Click Link for WIKI bio).
The Lab is a by-audition, no fee forum in which The O'Neill Studio develops its training programs. In this year's Lab, The Studio is adapting its Meisner and Monologue Tracks for the online platform.
In the Monologue Free Lab, actors will work on a monologue in a three individual video sessions and provide written feedback on the experience.
For the Meisner Free Lab, over the course of three group sessions, actors will be introduced to the widely misunderstood Repetition “game” as Mr. Meisner himself taught it to his classes, of which Murphy was part.
The Meisner Lab will take place at a time scheduled by consensus after which actors will provide feedback on the experience.
