Saying that tears will be shed during a Friday Night Lights episode is like saying you’ll likely sweat in Austin this summer (meaning: derr). But boy did we drip some XL salties during the Collette women’s heart to heart in Season 3 ep A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall. That was the work of professionals – and now Mama Collette is sharing that professional wisdom.
Austin-based actress Dana Wheeler-Nicholson, whose credits include work in both TV (FNL, Sex and the City) and film (Fletch), will lead a nine-week course for actors of all experience. The course includes monologue and scene work as well extensive improvisation. But you’re going to have to move fast – first class is tomorrow (Saturday, April 24).
