Method Acting

Method Acting Workshops

TheatresCool is the only professional training ground in Central Illinois that teaches the technique of method acting to beginning and professional actors. This same technique is used by the world’s favorite actors like Robert Deniro, Al Pacino, Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp and Juliette Binoche many of whom worked with or taught Kymberly during her training at the Actors Studio MFA Program and beyond in New York City.
Our children and teen workshops create and write their own plays every ten weeks based on the TACT system developed by founder Kymberly Harris. Our adult students perform modern and contemporary plays like those seen in New York City and Chicago theatre, right here in Bloomington-Normal.
