Song Interpretation/Monologue Workshop

With Betty Buckley

Presented by the T. Schreiber Studio in NYC

 

 

 

(New York, NY) The T. Schreiber Studio welcomes back Legendary Broadway Star Betty Buckley for a 4 day Song Interpretation and Monologue Workshop in February.

 

Following her successful, critically acclaimed run of her new show “Ah, Men! The Boys of Broadway!” at the prestigious NYC Cabaret Feinstein’s,

Stephen Holden of The New York Times says "Ms. Buckley has never been in better voice...[Her] show is a witty, powerfully sung female occupation of male territory, waged with good humor and gusto."   "There's an unbridled joy in listening to her tackle completely new additions to her repertoire... Her finest outing ever," raves Brian Scott Lipton, Theatremania.com. And then Andrew Gans, Playbill.com joins in, "Buckley proved that she would be equally adept at playing just about every major male role in the musical theatre."  "Like entering a Rolls Royce, taking your seat in Feinstein's at Loews Regency to see a headliner, is your start of an unparalleled ride.  Betty Buckley is that kind of experience," adds Stephen Sorokoff, BroadwayWorld.com

 

Ms. Buckley shares her expertise and guides her students through a methodology that facilitates audience connection through songs and monologues.  Her emotional connection to songs and audiences is renowned, and that very connection is at the heart of what Ms. Buckley imparts to her students.

 

The February Workshop consists of four class sessions: Feb. 12 from 4:30 to 9pm and Feb. 13, 14, & 15 from 6:30pm to 11pm.  Classes will be held at Chelsea Studios.  An accompanist will be provided.  For further details and to arrange an interview, prospective participants should contact BuckleyNYWkshp@aol.com  For more information go to www.bettybuckley.com.
