We are so thrilled for our longtime BHP member, Sam Sloyan who plays Margaret White in Mike Flanagan’s new TV adaptation of CARRIE on Amazon. Congratulations to her. There is so much great press out there for the new show.

“In a word, Sloyan killed it… Sloyan is a shape-shifter - one of those actors who can push themselves aside and vanish within a character, inhabiting it so fully that you forget you’re watching a performance.”

Anthony Breznican, Esquire Magazine

Know the how much playroom the playwright has given you as an actor to create your character. What is the nature of your character? What is the relationship? How do you serve the playwright to tell the story fully?

Advanced Scene Study Class at the BHP taught by Allen Barton.

The BHP has been a training ground for thousands of actors over 40 + years, many of whom went on to make their indelible mark on the industry, and its current students continue in that tradition day in and day out.

Intense dialogue, philosophical and antagonistic. It provokes.

A 20 minute scene from the play RED by John Logan was directed for the INTERMEDIATE Class this week. The purpose of working in Scene Labs and or full-out Directed Scenes like this is so valuable to implement notes, address recurring areas of the work for each individual actor and to encourage actors to trust in the approach and most importantly to trust their own ability to go for it. We are pretty sure that this kind of dedication from our teachers is rare in the LA array of acting classes. This scene had over 18 hours of teacher input. It was a move-up scene for our Intermediate class Stage Manager, Charlie McGuire and was highly entertaining for everyone in class that evening. Chris LePanto (who is also a fine artist) played Mark Rothko.

This scene was directed by Mia Christou

Congratulations! Great collaboration!
