LAST INTENSIVE / CLASS OF 2014 AT THE FOUNDRY November 24 & 25 9am to 6pm This workshop is renowned as an awesome experience. Hundreds and hundreds of
actors have proclaimed that their career, artistic, and even life perspective has shifted at this workshop. It’s where Matthew began to discover and define The Three Pillars of Acting.
