I had such a great time doing last night’s workshop. Honestly, it was the most talented and best prepared group I’ve ever had in a workshop. The actors were very talented and took notes quite well. I hope to bring in them in to read for parts on The Closer and anything else I’m casting. I would be happy to teach another workshop.
