Playdates

**\*This is a paid event. RSVP on Meetup is not enough — to confirm your place, please complete your registration through our website.\*** In this intensive, our international guest instructor Tim Orr explores a simple but often overlooked question: is there really a need for conflict and trouble between characters in every scene? What happens when we choose to play people who genuinely like each other? When characters get along, support one another, and share a point of view, a whole new world of conflict-free detail opens up. Relationships become clearer, specifics deepen, and the scene gains texture without relying on friction to move forward. This workshop invites experienced improvisers to experiment with connection over confrontation, discovering how alignment can generate just as much momentum, nuance, and depth as disagreement. A powerful and perspective-shifting approach that can fundamentally change the way you build scenes. *\*This workshop is suitable for experienced improvisors only, who have completed an intermediate course with us or their equivalent.* **Class Schedule:** Fri 3 April 7:00pm-10:00pm Sat 4 April 7:00pm-10:00pm Sun 5 April 7:00pm-10:00pm [Register here](https://courtyardplayhouse.com/event/tim-orr-playing-characters-who-actually-like-each-other-intensive-for-adults-summer-2026/)

WA: https://chat.whatsapp.com/FWRfxRrzFg6EP4e7cIwGjX?mode=gi_t Get ready to step into the room where real work happens. The 24 Actor's Journey is a weekly training workshop built for anyone who wants to dig into the craft of acting and walk away a sharper, more present, more expressive human being. Whether you have years of experience or you're just starting to take this seriously, this space is designed to meet you where you are and push you further. Each session is three hours of hands-on practice, four times a month. We work the full instrument, meaning body language, physicality, movement, use of space, and vocal training all get equal attention alongside the internal work. You won't just be reading lines, you'll be training the whole self that shows up to deliver them. The approaches we draw from read like a who's who of acting methodology. Meisner, Adler, Uta Hagen, Strasberg, Laban, Michael Chekhov, Lecoq, Viewpoints. But none of this is taught as dry theory. It's all put into practice, explored in the room, and felt in the body. That's the only way any of it actually sticks. Over time, the work goes deeper. We get into character development, script analysis, monologues and scenes, stage fright, vulnerability, listening, and emotional expression. These aren't just acting skills. They're human skills, and the people who train them consistently are the ones who grow the fastest. The 24 Actor's Journey is a place to keep showing up, keep training, and keep building something real. If you've been looking for a space that takes the craft seriously and also makes the process genuinely exciting, this is your invitation to come find out what you're made of.
