READ THE QUOTES FROM THESE PAST PARTICIPANTS

"We've taken classes from many acting schools but never imagined how much was yet to be revealed until taking a workshop from an actual casting director!"

"Since taking your workshop my kids have broken the bad habits picked up at other classes and have learned to relax and be themselves - all of which has resulted in more bookings!"

"The Q and A session with parents was invaluable and really revealed some things that couldn't have been learned from anyone else."

"My kids are still talking about the workshop and can't wait for the next one."

"This was by far the best time my kids have had since they began acting. You inspired them more than any other acting teacher they've had."

"Finally, someone who says it like it is. My husband and I have been begging for straight talk about the business for years and we certainly got if from this workshop. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"You really have a way with kids. No doubt having four of your own helps. My kids have always loved auditioning for "Mr. Mark" but little did we know how much fun your workshops could be. Sign us up for the next one!"

"Thank you for a great workshop. My child woke us up at 6:38AM asking if we were going to Orlando today to see you. I think that is a sign of a good time. She really learned so much from you yesterday, she talked about it all the way home and all the way to school this morning."

"I am the 15 year old that attended your workshop on Sunday. I just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful day. Not only were you informative and helpful, but you also made it a lot of fun."

"I wanted to thank you again for such a great workshop yesterday. My child had so much fun, learned A LOT and gained a bunch of confidence! She said she can't wait to take another class with you and be able to actually audition for you. We told her about how she will be taking a different class with a different instructor next weekend and she yelled from her car seat, "NO, I want to take it with Mark again!" She LOVED you and everything about yesterday...so thank you again!"

Read on for more information...and don't forget, workshops are tax deductible and can even be paid for with a credit card (play now, pay later).

Sincerely, Mark Mullen, CSA

On September 15, Louis Armstrong comes back to life at the Orlando Shakespeare Theatre

where Dennis Neal stars in the world premiere of Terry Teachout's Satchmo at the Waldorf, a

one-man play about the most beloved jazzman of all time. Set at New York's Waldorf Astoria

Hotel, where Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong performed in public for the last time before his death

in 1971, Satchmo at the Waldorf is a theatrical tour de force, a play in which the same actor

portrays Armstrong and Joe Glaser, the trumpeter's controversial manager. Inspired by their

actual words, the play takes a searching look at the complex relationship between the genius

from New Orleans who turned jazz into a swinging art form and the hard-nosed, tough-talking

ex-gangster from Chicago who made him an international icon.

The three men behind this powerhouse production include the playwright, Terry Teachout,

drama critic of The Wall Street Journal and author of the best-selling biography, Pops: A Life of

Louis Armstrong; the director, Rus Blackwell, one of Florida's top actor-directors; and the star,

Dennis Neal, a familiar face on Orlando stage and in film and television who acts with special

insight into the essence of Louis Armstrong.

In addition to being a drama critic and biographer, Teachout has also worked as a professional

jazz bassist and written the libretti for two operas. He spent the past two winters as a

scholar-in-residence at Rollins College's Winter Park Institute, where he wrote the first draft

of Satchmo at the Waldorf last year. The biography, Pops: A Life of Louis Armstrong was

praised by the New York Times as "eloquent and important" and chosen by the Washington

Post as one of the ten best books of 2009. Satchmo at the Waldorf is his first play. Teachout

was the first Armstrong biographer to have access to 650 reel-to-reel tapes made by the

trumpeter during the last quarter-century of his life, many of which contain astonishingly candid

recordings of his private after-hours conversations. These tapes served as the inspiration for

much of the dialogue in Satchmo at the Waldorf, in which the offstage Louis Armstrong-raw,

frank, and uncensored-is revealed for the first time.

Rus Blackwell, one of the most sought-after actor/directors in the southeast, brings a wealth

of experience and a passion for storytelling to Satchmo. Blackwell is a graduate of New

York's Circle in the Square Theatre School, where he had the opportunity to study with

well-known directors Michael Kahn and Nikos Psachoropolous. Most recently, he directed

Sweet Bird of Youth and A Streetcar Named Desire for the Tennessee Williams Tribute in

Williams' birthplace of Columbus, Miss. He is a founding member as well as one of the original

producing artistic directors for both Mad Cow Theatre Company and SoulFire Theatre here

in Orlando and has an extensive resume as an actor in theatre, film and television. Some of

his credits include last year's Shotgun for Orlando Shakespeare and such feature films as

Monster, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Dolphin Tale, and Battle: Los Angeles. He
will be appearing on the Starz series Magic City and in this year's God of Carnage here at the

Orlando Shakespeare Theatre.

Dennis Neal, one of Orlando's most respected actors with twenty-five years' experience, is a

founding member of Mad Cow Theatre and has performed in such notable productions as The

Last Days of Judas Escariot, Jesus Hopped the 'A' Train, Seven Guitars, Two Trains Running,
The Piano Lesson, and Shotgun. Theatre goers will recognize him from these and many other

productions at Mad Cow Theatre, Empty Spaces, The People's Theatre, and The Orlando

Shakespeare Festival, as well as from film and TV in Dead Man Walking, Wild Things, Endure,

Letters to God, Sunshine State, ABC's The Practice, and NBC's The West Wing. He has

performed in works by August Wilson, Athol Fugard, David Mamet, and Stephen Adley Guirgis

and brings his own unique style and brilliance to Satchmo at the Waldorf.

William Elliot, the set and lighting designer, has long been a favorite for his artistic
interpretation of a playwright's vision. He was a professor at the University of Central Florida
and is currently professor at Stetson University teaching production and acting as the
production manager and technical director for the University. Some of his notable designs
include All My Sons, Romeo and Juliet, Cinderella, and The Importance of Being Ernest.
