Masterclass Monday: The Monologues of August Wilson

Have you ever wondered how a professional actor works with a playwright’s text? In this masterclass, actor and teaching pro Robert Cornelius (currently featured in Where the Mountain Meets the Sea) will introduce you to the musicality and poetry of playwright, August Wilson. Using monologues from Wilson’s American Century Cycle of plays, each one set in a different decade of the 20th century, you will dive into the text and have a chance to speak the words yourself. Whether you are an audience member interested in a behind-the-scenes look at an actor's process, or a performer looking to enhance your skills, this masterclass is for you.

Robert Cornelius is an actor and educator based in Chicago. He has taught at every level from high school to working professionals and has performed professionally all over the country.
