The Instructors:  

Michael Kearns                
Michael Kearns' theatrical career has been largely defined by solo performance—from his two lauded books on the subject (Getting Your Solo Act Together and The Solo Performer's Journey) to the many hats he's worn as a solo artist: director, teacher writer-performer and dramaturg. From The Truth Is Bad Enough, his first "written and performed by" outing, to dramaturgical duties on Alex Davis' Man of the Year (produced at NY's Knitting Factory in 2011), Kearns' work, including the internationally acclaimed intimacies, has not abated for forty years.

Tony Abatemarco

For 3 decades, Tony has written, performed, directed, produced or taught theatre all over the world, and won some of Los Angeles' highest honors doing so.  He has directed Julie Harris solo as Isak Dinesen on Broadway and for A&E, as well as Robyn Peterson in the West End.  As a performer, he has done 4 solo shows.  His two originals, FOUR FATHERS and COLOGNE, have both won awards and have been performed around the country, the latter having just completed an extended run at the SkyLab.  He is an adjunct professor at USC's School of Theatre and holds an Endowed Chair at Santa Monica Emeritus College.  He has also coached or mentored privately, with students including Oscar nominees Johnny Depp and Mary McDonnell, and TRUE BLOOD star Deborah Ann Woll.  His film & tv credits are innumerable.
