Where Art Meets Craft
10 Actors • 5 Writers • 4 Weeks • 10 Projects
The Creative Lab is an intensive and unique workshop that brings committed actors and writers together to conceive and create films, all while being coached and mentored by industry professionals. Because the class size is exclusive and strictly limited, each Actor works in every class with personalized attention and with an emphasis on scene work, while each Writer workshops multiple scenes for specific Actors under the guidance of a writing mentor. At the end of our four-week program, each lab participant will leave with a hard copy of their short film in hand and the ability to use the material immediately, however they choose. The IMDb credit? Well, that’s just the icing on the cake.

She has been seen in all sorts of films and television shows, including her recurring role on ABC's Suburgatory, as well as roles on American Horror Story, NCIS: Los Angeles, Grey’s Anatomy, The Mentalist, and True Blood. She had recurring roles on 90210 and The Secret Life of the American Teenager, and recently co-starred in two feature films, Moms’ Night Out and The Umbrella Man.

Her first role was on Disney’s StarStruck, and she continued working on shows like Pair of Kings, Good Luck Charlie, It’s Christmas!, Jonas, and Imagination Movers. She fills her weeks with work in TV, film, and theatre, and spends her spare time mentoring and coaching aspiring actors. She is a sought-after keynote speaker at creative conferences and workshops, where she shares her book, Stuck on a Ferris Wheel, to inform and encourage actors.
